Minnesota Moose

Template:Use mdy dates Template:Pro hockey team The Minnesota Moose were an American professional ice hockey team based out of Saint Paul, Minnesota that played in the International Hockey League from 1994 to 1996.

History

Following the departure of the National Hockey League's Minnesota North Stars in 1993, the state of Minnesota was left without a professional hockey team. To fill that void, the Minnesota Moose were founded the following year. The team began play in the IHL for the 1994–1995 season, using the Saint Paul Civic Center at its home arena, with some games in Minneapolis's Target Center.

After two years in the Twin Cities, the team was sold to a group of Canadian businessmen including Mark Chipman, who relocated the team to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and renamed them the Manitoba Moose. The franchise has played in the American Hockey League since the demise of the IHL in 2001 and is now the top minor league affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets, sharing the Canada Life Centre. The state of Minnesota welcomed a new NHL team, the Minnesota Wild, in 2000. The Wild play at the Xcel Energy Center, located on the site of the old Civic Center in St. Paul.
