Dallas Stars Overview

The Dallas Stars are a professional ice hockey team based in Dallas, competing in the NHL's Western Conference. Originally established in 1967 as the Minnesota North Stars, the team relocated to Dallas in 1993, dropping "North" from its name. The Stars have appeared in the Stanley Cup finals five times, winning their sole championship in 1999. The franchise's early years included playoff appearances but were marred by financial challenges, leading to the relocation. In Texas, the team enjoyed success, clinching five consecutive division titles and reaching the finals again in 2000. After a period of fluctuating performance and a four-year playoff drought, the Stars returned to prominence, making playoff runs in the late 2010s. Recent seasons have seen them advance to the Western Conference finals multiple times, with their latest playoff run in 2024?25 where they are set to face the Edmonton Oilers. The Stars are known for their notable players, including franchise icon Mike Modano.
