"The Minnesota North Stars were one of the teams created during the National Hockey League’s first expansion in 1966, which finally brought an NHL team to the "state of hockey."" -Minnesota North Stars | MNopedia
The biggest game of their first season was when the Stars came to town. The Xcel Energy Center was packed with a sellout crowd of over 18,000 fans as the team rode an emotional high to a 6-0 victory.-A brief history: Minnesota Wild
The Met Center was considered to be one of the finest arenas in the NHL for many years. Among NHL players, the Met was known for its fast ice and good lighting.-Met Center - Wikipedia
The North Stars owned the town for stretches then, but they never owned it as the Wild does now. And the Stars never sold tickets night after night, game in and game out, as the Wild has done since it first dropped a puck in St. Paul 15 years ago.-Thanks to Wild run, pro hockey's glory years are back in Minnesota
Twenty years ago, after a loss in Detroit, the players trudged out of the visiting locker room at Joe Louis Arena and the Minnesota North Stars were finished.-The end of the North Stars (20th anniversary edition)
