The Dallas Stars are a professional ice hockey team based in Dallas, Texas. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team was founded in 1967 as the Minnesota North Stars, based in Bloomington, Minnesota. The franchise transferred to Dallas for the 199394 NHL season. The Stars played out of Reunion Arena from their relocation until 2001, when the team moved into the American Airlines Center.
The Stars have won seven division titles in Dallas, two President's Trophies as the top regular season team in the NHL, the Western Conference championship twice, and in 1998-99, the Stanley Cup. Joe Nieuwendyk won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the playoffs that year. Brett Hull will become the first Dallas Stars' player inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009.
The greatest night in the history of the Dallas Stars franchise took place on June 19, 1999, in Buffalo, and it was a culmination of all general manager Bob Gainey's masterful guidance, all of head coach Ken Hitchcock's lessons and teachings, and all of owner and chairman Thomas O. Hicks' patience, support and leadership. The Stars and Sabres waged an epic battle in Game Six of the Stanley Cup Finals, one that lasted into the third overtime period and featured 104 shots on goal (54 for Buffalo, 50 for Dallas); 101 saves (53 for Ed Belfour, 48 for Dominik Hasek) and one heroic goal from Brett Hull that will forever live in the hearts and minds of Stars fans. Jere Lehtinen put the Stars ahead 1-0 eight minutes into the game, before Stu Barnes evened things up late in the second stanza. Nearly 80 minutes of intense, physical, pressure-packed action later, Hull set off a wild celebration on the Marine Midland Arena ice and throughout North Texas, as he put one past Hasek from in tight, clinching the franchise's first Stanley Cup. Truly a night to remember, and to savor.
