At the conclusion of the 1992-93 NHL season, the Minnesota North Stars franchise was moved from Bloomington to Dallas. The word “North” was dropped from their name. Soon thereafter, Met Center, home to the North Stars, was demolished. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, all evidence of the North Stars’ existence was gone. Twenty-six years of hockey had been erased. In Minnesota North Stars: History and Memories with Lou Nanne, the legacy of Minnesota’s first NHL franchise is restored. Through vintage photos, official team stats, and the wonderful storytelling of Lou Nanne, this book captures the rich and colorful history of the North Stars. Author Bob Showers created the book to be a vivid archive that would preserve the memory of the team. He and Lou spent months talking North Stars hockey and recording Lou’s recollections. From action on the ice to behind-the-scenes deals, Lou Nanne is the ultimate authority on the Minnesota North Stars. His stories are humorous, informative and wildly entertaining. Showers spent countless hours assembling over 600 North Stars photographs that are certain to stir many memories. Minnesota North Stars fans—Enjoy!
