The team ingratiated itself to Minnesota by trying to field a team with as many American and Minnesotan players as possible, unusual at the time for WHA or NHL teams. In their first season 10 of the 24 players to play for the Saints were Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eThe team was always successful on the ice, winning 38, 44, and 42 games out of 78 in each of their first three seasons. They also made the playoffs all three times, although they were never able to get past the second round. For the 1975-76 season, the team's fourth, they signed up future Hall of Famer Dave Keon, who would notch 64 points in 57 games. However, the team wasn't a financial success and would fold midway through that season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003ePrior to the 1976-77 season, the \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eCleveland Crusaders\u003c\/a\u003e bolted from Ohio when they learned that the NHL would be relocating to CLE. The Crusaders picked up and moved north to Minnesota and became the second coming of the Fighting Saints. However, this new Saints franchise didn't adopt the traditional blue, white, and gold colors of the original. This new one swapped out blue for red. The New Fighting Saints wouldn't last either, as they would fold 42 games into the 76-77 campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eThis would make a unique gift for the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003ehockey fan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e in your life or a neat find for yourself of a vintage hockey team from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eMinnesota\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFree standard shipping on all orders shipped to the USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuestions about us or our products?
