Minnesota Wild Schedule
When the Minnesota North Stars left the Land of 10,000 Lakes in ’93, most hockey fans knew it was only a matter of time before Minneapolis-St. Paul got another NHL team, and that finally happened 11 years ago when the Minnesota Wild was born. As was expected in the hockey crazy state of Minnesota, the Wild became an instant success and Wild hockey tickets went fast. The team also found success on the ice as they made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals in just their third season, but the Wild have only made two playoff appearances since then and have yet to win another playoff series. Even so, they did show some improvement last season with 39 wins and a total of 86 points. With just a little more improvement, they could certainly be a playoff team this season, so get your Minnesota Wild hockey tickets now.
Even after a decade of existence, the Minnesota Wild are as popular as ever, and part of that is due to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The arena is a huge improvement over the old Met Center in which the North Stars played (which is now part of the gigantic Mall of America) and also over the old St. Paul Civic Center, which once stood on the same land. The Xcel Center is annually ranked as one of the top arenas in the NHL, and it is a true hockey building with exhibits celebrating the importance of the sport in the “State of Hockey.” But of course virtually every game on the Minnesota Wild schedule is sold out, so you might need a little help from GoTickets to get your Minnesota Wild tickets.
The Wild have never been a high-scoring team, and that’s reflected in the fact that the leading scorer on the Minnesota Wild roster had just 22 goals last season. Defense is important to win championships, but so is offense, and that’s part of the reason that the Wild have brought in Mike Yeo as the new head coach this season. Although this is his first head coaching job in the NHL, he had great success as a head coach in the AHL and as an assistant for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
