Once a Star. Will Retire a Star.


After this past year at the Wings, Mike Modano decided that the return to the (North) Stars organization was pretty much more about club loyalty.

After 23 seasons, Modano made it official, he announced his retirement on Wednesday, as well as receiving a one day contract with the Stars.

He will go down as the all time leading scorer in the NHL amongst US-born players. A little throwback for all of you: actual from the '88 NHL Draft, where he was the #1 draft pick (overall) by the (North) Stars. And the rest is history. To the new Stars owner: please for the sake of the franchise, bring the old North Stars jerseys back for a few games this season.
