Since their inaugural 1993-94 NHL season, the Dallas Stars have celebrated a number of impressive accomplishments, the greatest of which being the 1989-99 Stanley Cup. In addition to the Cup, the Dallas Stars have celebrated eight division titles, two Western Conference championships and two President’s Trophies. During their ‘98-’99 Stanley Cup run, center Joe Nieuwendyk was recognized as the Most Valuable Player of the playoffs and took home the Conn Smythe Trophy that year. This year, when you head to American Airlines Center to cheer on your Dallas Stars, you have the choice of wearing your favorite current player’s uniform, or a retro Dallas Stars jersey.
It’s one thing to wear the jersey of your favorite current player, but it’s something else to wear a retro jersey of one of the greatest National Hockey League players to have ever graced the ice. Joseph “Joe” Nieuwendyk is without question one of, if not the, greatest Dallas Stars players in the history of the league. Originally drafted 27th overall in the 1985 NHL Entry Draft, Nieuwendyk began his twenty-year career with the Calgary Flames. Nieuwendyk went on to play for the Dallas Stars, Toronto Maple Leafs, New Jersey Blue Devils and Florida Panthers. One of the most impressive aspects of Nieuwendyk’s legacy is that he won the coveted Stanley Cup with three different teams over the course of his career, a milestone that only eleven players in the history of the NHL can claim. Nieuwendyk won the Cup with the Dallas Stars, the Calgary Flames and the New Jersey Devils. Nieuwendyk also claimed a gold medal in the 2002 Winter Olympics with the Team Canada. Not only that, in 2017, Nieuwendyk was also named one of the ‘100 Greatest Players in NHL History’. What better way to show your support for the Dallas Stars than by wearing a retro Dallas Stars jersey of Joe Nieuwendyk?
Joe Nieuwendyk is not the only legend in the history of Dallas Stars hockey. Brett Hull is a former Dallas Stars player that has found his place in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Brett Hull was also named one of the ‘100 Greatest Players in NHL History’, mainly because of his epic goal-scoring prowess. Hull ended his career with a total of 741 goals and stands amongst the giants of the NHL as the fourth highest scoring player in league history. Hull won a total of two Stanley Cups, being part of the historic 1998-99 team with Joe Nieuwendyk, but also with the 2002 Detroit Red Wings.
