The Dallas Stars played their first NHL game in Texas on October 5, 1993 against the Detroit Red Wings. The Stars introduced Texans attending the game at Reunion Arena or watching on television, to big league hockey for the first time, and treated all of them to a 6-4 win on their opening night. I would introduce myself to the world a little over a month after that opening victory, on a night after Mike Modano scored the lone Dallas goal in a 1-1 tie against the original Winnipeg Jets.
In the years since that 1993-1994 season, we, as Stars fans, are all well aware of the franchise’s accomplishments since moving to Texas.
