Hi all!

I don't usually post here, but I do lurk quite a bit.

Anyway, I finally found the nameplate font used by the Sharks, Wild, and Team Canada.  It's called "Compacta," and unfortunately, I still have not found the number font used for any of the teams (the Sharks may have modified some of the Compacta numbers, but I'm still looking).  

As far as I know, Compacta is a commercial font, but luckily it was on a set of font CDs I ordered off of eBay.  If anyone is interested in getting this font, e-mail me at cli@ucsd.edu, and I'll send it to you.

Sharks and Team Canada use Compacta at 120% wide.

The numerals are done in an edited form of font called Robotik.  One guy on here, made the unis for the then Sharks 3rds.  I have a character set.  (Image of the numerals used.)

The Minnesota Wild use the font as is.

Thanks for the extra info, Puckguy!  I thought Minnesota's nameplates looked a little thinner and taller than the Sharks'.

And thanks for the number information!  I'll have to see if Robotik is included on my font CD...
