Description: Minnesota has more youth high school college and pro hockey players than anywhere in the United States. For all that pedigree and despite fifty years in the NHL it still waits for a Stanley Cup championship team. This is the improbable tale of when the self - professed State of Hockey came closest to that title with the Minnesota North Stars. Through most of the 1990 - 91 schedule the team was among the worst in the NHL on the ice and dead last at the turnstiles. But in February and March the North Stars began to win a little more. Future Hall of Famer Mike Modano and a cast of characters ranging from better - than - average to journeymen played some of the best hockey of their lives behind a homegrown goalie who made everyone believe in fairy tales for a while. This is the story of the team with the worst regular - season record in any of the major North American sports leagues to play for a championship. The second half of Mirage of Destiny relates the exhilaration heartbreak and the real lives of all those players coaches and staff who came so close to being part of something historic thirty years ago.
