The Dallas Stars celebrated the legacy of Mike Modano, one of the most iconic figures in the franchise's history, with the unveiling of his statue at PNC Plaza outside of the American Airlines Center. The event, which took place on a rainy Saturday and was delayed by rain, was attended by fans and notable figures, including Dallas sports legends @swish41. Modano, recognized for his significant impact on promoting hockey in the Sun Belt and being the all-time leading scorer for the Stars, was celebrated with a special ceremony. Prior to the ceremony, Modano surprised fans by visiting and taking pictures. The statue captures Modano's signature jersey flap, a tribute to his dynamic presence on the ice.
