Minnesota North Stars First Franchise
The well known Hockey Jerseys team, the Minnesota North Stars, were a part of the National Sharks Jerseys League’s (NHL) first expansion franchise. This expansion doubled the NHL’s size from six teams to twelve. The Minnesota North Stars played their first home game in the newly constructed Metropolitan Sports Center (Met Center) in Bloomington, Minnesota on October 15, 1967. The Met Center was home to the Minnesota North Stars for 26 years. At the end of the 1993 season the team was moved by team owner Norm Green to Dallas, Texas. The final home game for the Minnesota North Stars was played on April 13, 1993. Demolition of the Met Center began on December 13, 1994.
