Seven years after the Minnesota North Stars left to be the Dallas Stars, Minnesota saw the return of the NHL with the Minnesota Wild. Since then, the Wild have had a roller coaster existence, from coming last in their Division to being the Division Champs, the Wild never fail to put on a show for their fans. Heck, the Wild even retired #1 for their fans, no Wild player can ever be #1 because to them, the fans will always be #1 (cue the cheesy awwww sounds).
FUN FACT! Like the Calgary Flames, the Minnesota Wild pays tribute to their history. On the alternate logo, which looks like this:
See the white eye in the creature/landscape? That’s a star, dedicated to the North Stars.
