It's the final weekend until June without some sort of professional hockey in North America. Everything gets started next weekend for Dallas with the first edition of the pre-season prospect tournaments in Frisco. Detroit's prospects will come to visit for a pair of games Saturday and Sunday evenings.
The Stars announced a roster of players this week that includes a lot of names you would expect. Of course, on the bench as always will be the Texas Stars coaching staff including the newly-hired head coach, Toby Petersen.
Texas fans will recognize several players who finished their season with the Cedar Park club.
