The 2000–01 Minnesota Wild season was the Wild's first season. One of the policies that the Wild implemented was never naming a permanent captain. Instead, the team captaincy was rotated on a monthly basis among several of its players each season, with some players serving multiple times. Three members of the Wild's inaugural season were still active in the NHL as of the 2013–14 season: Pascal Dupuis, Willie Mitchell and Marian Gaborik.
