Whether you are interested in a full season plan or something as simple as a four-game plan, the Dallas Stars Ice Breaker is a great opportunity to see the best selection of seats. It should be a fun evening."

Dallas Stars Ice Girls will also be available for autographs and photos. The first 3,000 fans will get free Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

The same Ben (from Ben and Jerrys) who is personally financing the Camp Casey fiasco? I'm guessing the flavors will be Liberal Constitutional Crunch or French Appeasement Apple Surprise or somesuch. No thanks. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Sounds like the Stars are working to try to get the fans back though.


Good luck Smiles.
