The Minnesota Wild is a professional ice hockey team based
in St. Paul, Minnesota. They are members of the National Hockey
League (NHL).
After 7 seasons of not having a NHL franchise in Minnesota,
the team was founded in 2000. The unveiling
occurred at Aldrich Arena in Maplewood, MN in 1998. The new name was introduced
to everyone with the song "Born to be wild" by Steppenwolf playing
over the arena's speaker system. The team plays at the Xcel Energy Center with
the colors of Forest Green, Iron Range Red, Harvest gold, Minnesota wheat and
white. Though no Stanley Cups yet, they
were in the division championships in the 07-08 season.
Preseason games start in late September and the Minnesota Wild
opens its regular season at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13 against the Colorado
Avalanche at Xcel Energy Center.
