Minnesota’s team for the Stadium Series Alumni Game could look a lot like a former Minnesota NHL team.
According to a series of tweets from Vintage MN Hockey, the jerseys for the alumni game will have a Minnesota North Stars flair.
Former North Stars players will be allowed to wear a Stars jersey, while Wild alumni will don a Stars-themed Wild jersey (similar to the image above).
Per source, within Wild something "like this" will be worn for ONLY the alumni game February 20th not the actual Stadium Series

The North Stars moved to Dallas in 1993 – where they became the Dallas Stars. But considering the franchise was born in Minnesota in 1967, it still has a major place in the state’s hockey tradition.
So the team representing Minnesota will feature a combination of both Wild and North Stars alumni and will include some of both franchises’ biggest names, including:
- Mike Modano
- Neal Broten
- Dino Ciccarelli
- Curt Giles
- Don Beaupre
- Basil McRae
- Jack Carlson
- Craig Hartsburg
- Giles Meloche
- Willi Plett
- Bobby Smith
- Andrew Brunette
- Wes Walz
- Darby Hendrickson
- Brad Bombardir
