in what year did the Minnesota Pipers become the Minnesota Timberwolves?
Minnesota Timberwolves The Minnesota Timberwolves are an American professional basketball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Timberwolves compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as a member club of the league's Western Conference Northwest Division. Founded in 1989, the team is owned by Glen Taylor. The Timberwolves play their home games at Target Center, their home since 1990.
Williams Lake TimberWolves The Williams Lake TimberWolves are a Junior "A" ice hockey team from Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada currently suspended from the BCHL. They were part of the British Columbia Hockey League. The team took a leave of absence for the 2007-08 and 2008-2009 seasons to relocate to Wenatchee, Washington. Due to a disagreement between Hockey Canada and USA Hockey, the relocation failed and the TimberWolves returned to play in Williams Lake in September 2009, with a new logo and new owners. The T-Wolves have not participated since the 2009-10 BCHL season after being suspended by the league for being a franchise "not in good standing", after accumulating heavy debt to local businesses and the league.
