The goal of hockey is to grow and get new fans and players from different backgrounds. Hockey is a dominantly White sport. This is a league and sport that has been riddled with abuse but fails to continually do anything substantive to address the cause. It is time for change.
The impact on the salary cap could extend beyond next season and impact future seasons. Players are going to be called upon for significant NHL stints next season. The young talent will determine if it will be three straight years of playoffs for Dallas.
Injuries are bound to happen; the Dallas Stars are especially no stranger to that fact. The league has to take steps to protect the players after such a long layoff with minimal training camp. Backup skaters is the answer.
Despite all the adversity the #GoStars have faced, numerous players have taken important steps in development.
The NHL has yet to decide the future of the 2019-2020 season. Despite this, the league is discussing the possibility of holding the draft prior to the playoffs. Both sides have an argument to make and the decision could have affect the #GoStars.
If the #GoStars make rick Bowness their permanent head coach for next season, it will do nothing more than add another item to the list of mistakes made by the organization.
Given the time off, it is a time for reflection and generating new ideas. The NHL and the Dallas Stars need to take advantage so they can grow to their potential.
Dallas has strong ties to Sweden and Finland so there is no reason their head coaching search should not start there.
The league is actively considering all possibilities to continue the NHL season. So, should the league play games without fans?
Professional athletes often begin their path in sports by playing multiple sports. Everyone loves a crossover, so what other sports could some of the Stars play?
