Former owner of the Dallas Stars, Tom Hicks, passed away this weekend. Mr. Hicks owned several professional sports teams across several different sports. He played a major role in hockey in Dallas during the late 1990s. Let's look at how he impacted the Stars' organization.

In the grand scheme of things, the Dallas Stars have not been in Dallas for very long. 2025 marks 32 years since the Stars moved from Minnesota to Dallas. To turn the organization into what it is today, many people played a role; he was one of those people.
