A National Hockey League franchise headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. The team is often considered both successful and highly underrated as of late, due to the fact the franchise has only been active since the year 2000, but have managed to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs three times in a six season span, which is well above the norm for expansion teams (another franchise, the Columbus Blue Jackets, was inducted into the league the same year and have yet to make the playoffs once).
In recent history, the Minnesota Wild have made a very well-known reputation as a highly defensive team. Due to their conservative strategy, the Wild often find themselves categorized as a team with the fewest goals against. This is attributed most commonly to the Wild's initial (and still current: 12/07/08) head coach, Jacques Lemaire, who historically employs highly defensive strategy, demands strong performance from his goaltenders and prioritizes his teams' penalty kill units. The Wild's defensive strategy is often compared to that of the late 90's New Jersey Devils, which was also coached by Lemaire.
Uniquely, the Minnesota Wild franchise focuses much of its efforts on fan appreciation. Upon its creation, the Wild dubbed their home state as the "State of Hockey," in honor of the state's strong interest in hockey. The Wild also dubs itself as the "Team of 18,000," again honoring Minnesota fans as dedicated. As a testament to this honor, as of December 07 2008, the Wild have sold out every single home game in franchise history.

A form of the spread offense in football implemented by Steve Spurrier and the Gamecocks at the University of South Carolina.
The Wild Hog and Wild Cat formations have taken over the sport of football but watch out for the Wild Cock in fall of 2009!

A more extreme term than the average 'manlet'. A wild manlet is a short man who originates from the 'Mystical World of Manlets'. A place where 'elf like' men live in the midst of the forest, inside tree trunks.
They are known to be 'short legged and short tempered'. Under the height of 5'6", they are well-known for their extremely powerful grip, and their sequential march-like dance moves. The currency in this mystical land is Fish heads and wooden coins, and their dress codes consists of green or red (by choice) ragged clothing, pointy shoes and santa-like hat. The usual professions are Blacksmith, Crafstmen, Pottery, Woodchopper and Royal Fishery.
Their hobbies consist of dancing and bird watching. A great delicacy of gorilla eyes is very much enjoyed, especially after a traditional fight which occurs when 2 manlets, inside a circle bordered with cheering manlets, use all their might and strength in order to grip their opponents face and grapple it untill submission.
One very interesting fact about this wonderful community is that they have wizards for doctors. However, there is a downside to this, as a very famous incident occured on the 6th of March, 2011. Where a manlet was given an incorrect potion for his sore back, and was sent 10,000 years into the future of the real world, where he was spotted in the Greek Festival of Melbourne, being lost, confused and frightened.
Usual terms used are 'lost manlet', 'confused manlet' and 'bejoyed manlet'.
