Dallas Stars Daily Links: Yeong Jun Seo, Sang Hoon Shin Talk About Experience at Stars Development Camp

Yeong Jun Seo and Sang Hoon Shin joined the Stars at the team's development camp. Plus, Riley Tufte shows off his skills, and a look at the best goalie-for-goalie trades in league history.

For the second straight year, at least two Korean players participated in the Stars Development Camp, thanks in large part to Jim Nill, who coordinated with former NHLer Jim Paek—now the Korea Ice Hockey Association director— to make the experience possible.

This year, defenseman Yeong Jun Seo and forward Sang Hoon Shin were both in attendance.

"We thought the players were really good, but the only difference is the height, maybe the height and size," Shin said. "I haven't experienced a lot of skilled play, skilled practices. This is a new, different environment. It's good for me to see it and feel it by coming here."

Seo and Shin also both hope to play for South Korea at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.

Seo and Shin absorbed every lesson they could from the camp, but the two Koreans also have a bigger purpose. They will take the experiences and apply them to their national team, which will play in its first Olympics in 2018 in PyeongChang. As the host country, South Korea automatically is qualified for the tournament.

They agree South Korea having a good performance in 2018 could help the game grow back home.
