The Minnesota Wild hockey team is still in its infancy as a franchise in the NHL, but has already seen some good playoff success. The team has begun this season in strong form and looks to compete for a division title and another trip to the playoffs. The St.Paul/Minneapolis fans are excited to see another hockey team represent them since the North Stars moved to Dallas in 1993. A home game at the fantastic new Xcel Energy Center is an emotional experience as Minnesota fans cheer their team to the playoffs.
The Minnesota Wild play in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team was formed in 2000 as a part of that years NHL expansion. The Wild would have a rough start in its first two season, as do most expansion teams, although the team did show some promise and talent on which it could base its future success. In 2003 the Minnesota Wild made its first playoff appearance, making it all the way to the finals of the Western Conference, only to lose to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. The team would struggle with contract negotiations and injuries in the following seasons. The 2004/2005 lock out also halted the team's development. In 2007, the Wild made its second playoff appearance, losing again to Anaheim, but this time the Ducks were on their way to a Stanley Cup win.
The Minnesota Wild plays their home games at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. The arena holds just over 18,000 spectators. Every game so far in the history of the Wild has been a sell out, so the excitement at a Minnesota game is palpable.
