Founded in 2000, the Minnesota Wild look set to be a promising young team. They play at Xcel Energy Center, which seats 18,834 spectators, and their uniform is green, red, harvest gold, and wheat.
In the 2002-03 season the Wild made their first playoff appearance. During this time they set a record for being the first team ever in playoff history to capture a seven game series twice after facing elimination in Game 5.
Despite a lack of big wins in the 2005/6 season, the team enjoyed some highlights, with star player Marian Gaborik setting a new franchise record for goals (37) and Brian Rolston setting a team players highest point total (79).
