We are almost exactly one month away from hockey’s triumphant return in North Texas.
The Dallas Stars have released the schedule for the 2014 Training Camp, which will run for three days in Forth Worth starting on Friday, Sept. 19 at the Fort Worth Convention Center.
The Stars will kick off the weekend with the 2014 Dallas Stars Cowtown Kickoff, which will include a Q&A session with members of the team and a big concert from Prophets and Outlaws that night.
Camp is free and open to the public, as always, and everyone is encouraged to come out and support the team as they get ready for what will undoubtedly be the biggest season for the organization since 2008. There are high expectations placed on this team now after another big offseason, and the buzz around the Stars is really beginning to pick up both locally and nationally.
This should be a very fun event and we’re hoping to see as many Stars fans as possible pack the stands over the weekend.
Camp will conclude on Sunday with an intra-squad scrimmage at 10 a.m.
