Tyler Seguin wasn't due until 5:45 p.m., but the line for this meet-and-greet at the Rally House Alpha sports boutique formed much earlier.

Would you believe 1 p.m.? On a Monday? For a hockey player? In Dallas?

By evening's end, 500-plus fans, roughly 60-percent of them female, got one-on-one face time with 24-year-old Star-attraction Seguin. Some came from out of state, including two young ladies from New Jersey.
