Tony Dean: MNWild: Iowa Wild Training Camp Roster and Brief Introduction! The Iowa Wild won and exhibition matchup last night 4-3 in overtime on an overtime goal from AHL rookie Tyler Matson. Today they have announced their training camp roster for their first season in Des Moines!

First again yea baby

I think it is great they relocated to Iowa, never saw the purpose in out prospects being all the way down in Houston. But I won't lie, I had my fingers crossed that they would someday go to Minneapolis, make things much easier on the players. Also, give some hockey fans with less financial wealth to be able to see at least a Semi-pro club play for about 1/3 the price of a Wild game. Plus, we all know Minni has enough hockey fans to support both clubs!

Facking Walt Disney eh

On another note, how has Nino been in training camp? Will he make the opening roster? What's the good, bad, and ugly on him in preseason so far?

I'm a supporter of his, and hope he does well for you guys...

Nino has played very steady consistent hockey and as result made the team. He has been playing it safe IMO not stepping out of the system which has been interesting to watch considering the history of this kid. I think Wild fans will love this kid because he is everything the Wild has lacked in their young players. I think we will see him break out of his shell once he trusts that the coaching staff is bought in. Which line he plays on will be major factor in his role. He looks like he might get first chance at locking down 2nd Line winger spot with Heatley and Coyle which a very physical but skilled line!
