Why did they start the Minnesota Wild?
When owner of the Minnesota North Stars, Norm Green, decided to move the franchise to Dallas, the state of Minnesota was left without an NHL team. Minnesota is probably the most hockey mad market in the USA and the NHL was determined to put a team back there as soon as new ownership could be found. A new ownership group applied and a franchise was awarded. The new team, named the Wild, started play in the 2000 season and has become one of the most successful expansion teams ever.
What city did the San Jose sharks come from?
They didn't technically entirely come from one city, but if you had to pick one it would be Minnesota... The Gunds had long wanted to bring hockey back to the Bay Area and asked the NHL for permission to move the North Stars there in the late 1980s, but the league vetoed them. Meanwhile, a group led by former Hartford Whalers owner Howard Baldwin was pushing the NHL to bring a team to San Jose, where a new arena was being built. Eventually the league struck a compromise: the Gunds would sell their share of the North Stars to Baldwin's group, with the Gunds receiving an expansion team in the Bay Area to begin play in the 1991–92 season and being allowed to take a certain number of players from the North Stars to their new club.[1] In return, the North Stars would be allowed to participate as an equal partner in an expansion draft with the new Bay Area team.
