Brendan Morrow named captain of Dallas Stars
DALLAS (CP) - It's the start of a new era in Dallas.
Brenden Morrow was named the newest captain of the Stars on Friday, taking over the role held by Mike Modano since 2003.
The 27-year-old has spent his entire career in Dallas after being taken by them in the first round of the 1997 draft.
Morrow was the only player in the NHL last season to score more than 20 goals and serve more than 125 penalty minutes. He scored 23 times and assisted on 42 for a career-best 65 points, and his plus-30 rating was the best on the team.
It earned him a US$24.6-million, six-year contract extension this summer that will keep him in Texas until 2013. The native of Carlyle, Sask., said at the time that he loved being a member of the Stars.
"I really believe in this organization and the commitment they've made to me and to winning," he said.
In 451 career NHL games, Morrow has 120 goals and 149 assists for 269 points and 748 penalty minutes. He is the only current Dallas player who has posted three straight 20-goal seasons.

I wonder how Modano will take it....

I don't know but I'm sure he's understanding of it. I read on the Stars website that Modano and Zubov will be assistant captains.

RE: Brendan Morrow named captain of Dallas Stars
It just doesn't seem right to take away the captaincy from Modano after he's been with the organization for his entire career. However, there's probably some kind of internal issue within the Stars organization.
That being said, I've always had respect for Morrow and I'm sure he'll do a great job.

I always though Modano would be their captain till he retired. Guess not.
Morrow was always touted as the next captain of the Stars though, and I'm sure he'll do a great job.

Well, hockey players are notorious for being superstitious. I guess the coaches are no exception.

THE ONE THING YOU ALL FAIL TO RELIZE IS THE STARS HAVE A WINNING TRADITION ,AND FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS [03 & 05] THE STARS HAVNT MADE IT OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND OF PLAYOFFS. SINCE HE PUT ON THE [ C ] WHEN HE WORE THE [A] WE WON A CUP AND PLAYED FOR ANOTHER . THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE WORRIED IS DAVE TIPPET. IF THE STARS DONT GO DEEP IN THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR HE WILL PROBABLY BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER JOB. I SAY CUDOS FOR THE STARS FOR MAKING A HARD DECISION AND MOVING THIS TEAM FORWARD
