Professional Sharks Apparel Returns to Minnesota
In 1995, as part of an effort to return professional San Jose Sharks Jersey to Minnesota, St. Paul joined in the bidding wars to attract the Winnipeg Jets to Minnesota. Their efforts fell short due in part to the fact that the St. Paul Civic Center was considered inadequate for a NHL team. In December of 1995 the Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix. In November of 1996 St. Paul decided to try again; an investment group, headed by Robert Naegele Junior, applied for an expansion team. Hopes were raised in December of 1996 when Peter Karmanos, the owner of the Hartford Whalers, indicated that he considered St. Paul to be a very viable place to move his team.
