Minnesota Wild History
The state of Minnesota was without an NHL franchise for seven years after the 1993 departure of the North Stars. That void was filled when the city of Saint Paul landed the Wild as an expansion team in 2000. Hall of Famer Jacques Lemaire took over as the franchise's first head coach.
The Wild advanced to the Western Conference Final in 2003 behind the play of right wing Marián Gáborík, and has gone on to post a winning record in almost every season since. Starting with the 2012-2013 season, Minnesota reached the postseason six consecutive times.
Center Mikko Koivu spent his entire NHL career with the Wild and is the franchise's all-time leader in games played, points and assists. In 2022, the Wild retired Koivu's jersey, the first player in franchise history to have a jersey retired.

Several friends and I went to this game and it was fantastic game. It started out a little slow for both teams, but the wild really picked up! It was one persons first time to a wild game and they did not disappoint
There is not a bad seats in the Xcel Energy. The seats were in the back row of the section but you can see all the action clearly. It was a great game to watch!
Event was amazing as always. Xcel center is one of the best rinks to see an NHL game.
This was my second Wild game (the first was a couple days earlier, against Anaheim), and with my two favorite teams facing off against each other, I knew I was in for a good time. My seat was great, and the action was suspenseful. The fan energy was amazing. I look forward to attending many Wild games in the future!
The Excel Center is a great place to watch a game even if you are cheering for the visitors.
We are a family of 4; we have 2 boys, ages 8 & 12, one Minnesota Wild fan, one Detroit Red Wing fan. Awesome first NHL game to attend - especially for their birthdays! The atmosphere was awesome; way better than watching from your living room! Easy parking and getting back out on the road.
Although they lost, it was the best game that I have watched at Excel Energy.
Although low scoring, this was an exciting contest, with great play on both sides. OT and shootouts are always exciting and this was no exception.
It was a great time. Bertuzzi rocked the house and won the game in a shootout.
Great view of the game from our area. It was a great time watching Red Wing Todd Bertuzzi get his 1,000 NHL game!
Everything about the game was exceptional. The Xcel Energy Center is always a fun place to be. Both of the teams provided a lot of good entertainment.
An incredible game to be in attendance of. Very competitive right up to the last minutes. Very glad I made the 7 hour drive to watch this game.
It was my first Minnesota Wild game and it was a blast to see in person. I recommend this to anyone who wants to become a hockey fan.
Hockey at the Xcel Center is a good time, but not economical.The Wild are not a good team, the Xcel Center is a nice venue, but someone has to pay for it and that someone is the ticket holders & tax payers of MN.
This was my first hockey game. The game was great, seats were good. The only disapointment was the Wild lost.
The Xcel Energy Center is a fantastic place to watch hockey! I am a Red Wings fan and I have to say that hockey fans are the best! The Wild fans were very friendly and fun to talk to!
game was great but lost . seats were very good and attenant was polite and courteous
We thoroughly enjoyed the Wild vs Wings game on Sunday. We were in the club level seating area. There was plenty of room as far as concessions and restroom facilities. The lines were very short.
Outstanding event and venue! Staff was wonderful and crowd was great, event was one for the ages!
The good ole hockey game was fantastic again. It would be even better if they Wild would show up and play as well, but as a Red Wings fan, I always love to see a win. Everything about this experience (venue, parking, food, etc.) is top notch.
