The MN North Stars were owned by the Gund brothers, who I believe also own
the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.  I'm not sure if they still do.
 
Anyway, I believe the story is that they sold them to Norm Green, Howard
Baldwin (who I think had part ownership in the Hartford Whalers?), and maybe
a few other people.  Then Norm Green bought the other owners out.
 
I think the story is actually a more detailed than that, so maybe another
Minnesotan on the list can provide more/better information
