List Of Dallas Stars Head Coaches
The Dallas Stars are an American professional ice hockey team based in Dallas, Texas. They play in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL). The team joined the NHL in 1967 as an expansion team as the Minnesota North Stars, but moved to Dallas in 1993. The Stars won their first Stanley Cup championship in 1999. Having first played at the Reunion Arena, the Stars have played their home games at the American Airlines Center since 2001. The Stars are owned by Tom Hicks, Brett Hull and Les Jackson are their general managers, and Brenden Morrow is the team captain.
There have been five head coaches for the Stars team. The team's first head coach was Bob Gainey, who has coached for four seasons. In the middle of the 1995–96 season, Gainey, who was then also the general manager for the Stars, fired himself as head coach and hired Ken Hitchcock to take over. Hitchcock is the team's all-time leader for the most regular-season games coached (503), the most regular-season game wins (277), the most regular-season points (626), the most playoff games coached (80), and the most playoff-game wins (47). Hitchcock is the only Stars coach to have won the Presidents' Trophy, winning it in 1997–98 and 1998–99, the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, winning it in 1998–99 and 1999–2000, and the Stanley Cup, winning it in the 1999 Stanley Cup Finals against the Buffalo Sabres. None of the Stars coaches have been elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder. Rick Wilson and Dave Tippett have each spent their entire NHL head coaching careers with the Stars. The current head coach of the Stars is Glen Gulutzan.

If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”

to re-enter the world: I first began
a small, fixed dot, still see
that old myself, a dark-blue thumbtack
pushed into the scene,
a hard little head protruding
from the pointillist’s buzz and bloom.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
