On This Date in Minnesota History: April 7

April 7, 1994 – “The Saint Paul Civic Center is announced as the new home for Minnesota's IHL expansion team, the Minnesota Moose. A three year lease is signed with the 16,000-seat arena. The Moose were an ice hockey team (1994-1996) in the International Hockey League (IHL) and the first pro hockey franchise in the state since the North Stars of the NHL moved to Dallas in 1993. The team was named the "Moose" after the St. Paul Pioneer Press conducted a "name-the-team" contest.”
