With one Stanley Cup and two trips to the Conference Finals, along with an outstanding playoff record, the Dallas Stars are always one of the top competitors in the NHL. Playing in a tough division that includes the defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks, the Dallas Stars have started this season in the thick of things, hunting for a low playoff seed. Mike Modano remains on the team as a record-breaking veteran leader, and the stellar goalkeeping of Marty Turco and the offense of Brendan Morrow put Dallas in an elite position in the league. A game at the American Airlines Center in Dallas this season will be watched with bated breath as fans hope the team can make it back to the top of their division and drive a long way into the playoffs. The Dallas Stars franchise was founded in 1967 in Minneapolis as the Minnesota North Stars. The team did manage to improve enough to reach the Stanley Cup finals in 1981, but financial woes had ownership clamoring to move the team to the Bay Area. Instead the owners were awarded another expansion team in the San Jose Sharks. They sold the North Stars, and the team was moved to Dallas as the Dallas Stars. Starting in the mid to late ‘90s, the Stars became a western powerhouse, winning the Cup in 1999. The team has continued to be a perennial playoff contender, and hopes this season to make it all the way again. The Dallas Stars play their home games at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The arena, opened in 2001, holds over 18,500 spectators for Stars games. Attend a Stars game and you’ll be awed by the sweeping arches and brick architecture of “the Hangar”. Don’t miss out on watching such an exciting team in this award-winning arena. Buy Dallas Stars tickets today!
