An excellent two-way player who played 835 of his 991 Games in the NHL with the Dallas Stars, Brenden Morrow was one of the top locker room leaders in franchise history.  Morrow would take over the captaincy from Mike Modano, and while he wasn’t the scorer that Modano was, he was very efficient with his shot selection, twice finishing in the top three in shot percentage.  The Saskatchewan native would exceed 50 points three times, including a 74 Point campaign in the 2007-08 Season.  He would accrue 528 Points with a Plus/Minus of 102 over his thirteen years as a Star.

One of the most prolific defensive forwards in modern hockey, Jere Lehtinen was a three-time winner of the Frank J. Selke Trophy and a runner-up for the award once.  Lehtinen’s entire NHL career was spent with the Dallas Stars, tallying 514 Points with a Plus/Minus of 176.  A vital part of the 1999 Stanley Cup win, Lehtinen was named an All-Star the previous year.  Dallas retired his jersey in the 2017/18 season.

After three uneventful seasons with the Boston Bruins, where he struggled to find playing time, Bill Goldsworthy first made heads turn in the 1967-68 postseason, where he led in Goals and Points.  Now a bona fide starter with the North Stars, Goldsworthy would net 30 or more Goals in six of seven seasons, finishing as high as 48 in the 1973-74 campaign.  The four-time All-Star would become a fan favorite with his “Goldy Shuffle”, a celebration that he showcased after he scored a goal, essentially a precursor to the modern celebrations of today.
