FRISCO, Texas -- Longtime Dallas Stars executive Jim Lites is transitioning from his role as CEO to chairman, a move that will lessen his day-to-day duties with the team.
The Stars announced the move Friday. Brad Alberts, the Stars president since March 2018, will remain in that role while also adding the CEO title and responsibilities.
Lites had two previous stints with the Stars (1993-02 and 2003-07). He was the team president when they won the Stanley Cup in 1999, and he returned as a president and CEO in November 2011 after new owner Tom Gaglardi bought the team.
