The Dallas Stars organization is branch of teams that reach into three different leagues: the NHL, AHL and ECHL. Dallas uses developmental leagues such as the AHL and ECHL, and have the ability to recall players when need be.
I traveled to Cedar Park to watch Dallas’ AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars, on Saturday to watch them take the Chicago Wolves. Despite their 4-1 loss, I got to observe a few promising NHL prospects.
During my visit, I focused on a few familiar faces to the Dallas Stars like Jason Dickinson, Gemel Smith, Justin Dowling and Julius Honka, as well a couple new faces.
