The Minnesota Wild are a professional ice hockey team based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The Wild competes in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Central Division in the Western Conference and play their home games at the Xcel Energy Center.[3]
The Wild were founded on June 25, 1997, but did not start playing until the 2000–01 season.[4] They were the first NHL franchise in Minnesota since the Minnesota North Stars moved to Dallas, Texas, in 1993. In the 2002–03 season, the Wild made their first Stanley Cup playoffs appearance, making a surprising run to the Western Conference Finals.[5]

It was a little strange watching the Wild pack up its gear and head to the exit at American Airlines Center on Saturday night. That gear won't be unpacked again for five or six months, and when it does, there's a good chance the group putting it on will look much different, even than the team that ended the season wearing Iron Range Red and Forest Green.
