The franchise has created a wonderful atmosphere.

It was clear that things had certainly changed in Dallas once the season got going on Oct. 8. Even though the first game of the season tends to draw in more fans than normal, something seemed different. There was a different atmosphere in American Airlines Center that carried over into the rest of the season.

Stars’ music director Michael Gruber (better known by his Twitter handle: @tweetgrubes) gained more recognition for his awesome work. The media team was all in on creating original content for the jumbotron. There seemed to be a more consistent crowd at home games, when in past seasons, it would be a struggle to get the building full.

The fans were ready to go once the playoffs came along and even up to the very last second of the very last game, they were standing and cheering on their favorite team for an awesome season.

The city of Dallas had often caught a lot of heat for it’s inability to broadcast hockey when teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks share the city, but, with the help of an owner and GM, the franchise has created a great game day experience that every NHL team needs.

Thanks to them, hockey is back at full strength in Texas.
