2 unusual facts about Iowa Wild


Iowa Wild

The Wild is the second AHL team to call Des Moines and the Wells Fargo Arena home; the city previously was home to the Iowa Stars, which had been the Dallas Stars' AHL affiliate from 2005 until 2008 (in the team's final season in 2009, they were known as the Iowa Chops and were affiliated with the Anaheim Ducks).

The AHL version of the Aeros would go on to win the 2003 Calder Cup; they would reach the 2011 Calder Cup finals as well but lost to the Binghamton Senators.
