ST. PAUL — (MCT) An announcement that the Minnesota Wild’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Houston Aeros, is moving to Des Moines to become the Iowa Wild is expected today, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Pioneer Press.

Overseers of the Toyota Center, where the Aeros play home games, decided they could make more money by hosting concerts and other events. After they informed the Wild that the rent would be raised for Aeros games, the Wild began a search for a new home that included Kansas City and Wichita.
