The Civic Center was unique, in that the hockey boards were made of clear plexiglas all the way down to the ice. This was because the seating configuration was round, meaning the closest seats at center ice were not right up against the glass. The clear boards made for better sightlines for those spectators.

The Minnesota Fighting Saints were the first big tenant and gave the crosstown NHL Minnesota NorthStars a run for their money. The Saints uniforms and the Carlson brothers were used in the movie “Slap shot”, see the highlights below.
