The Dallas Stars rely a good bit on their former players.
Like with every NHL team, when a fan favorite from “back in the day” returns to the organization following retirement to work in some other capacity, it brings an elating feeling to the fan base as a whole. But for the Stars, it means just a little bit more than it may with other teams.
That’s because these former Dallas Stars are part of what helps keep the hockey spirit alive and growing throughout the state of Texas. Whether it’s Brenden Morrow appearing at an unveiling or skating with younger hockey players, Marty Turco becoming president of the Dallas Stars Foundation, or Mike Modano doing just about anything, it’s special to see them return to part of their story and make an impact.
