The Dallas Stars announced on Tuesday that they will retire Mike Modanos number 9 at a ceremony next season. The team said that Modano will be honoured before a game on March 8, 2014 against the Minnesota Wild. Modano is the top American-born scorer in NHL history. He retired after 21 seasons following the 2010-11 campaign with 561 goals and 1374 points while playing all but one year with the Minnesota North Stars-Dallas Stars franchise. The Michigan native played his final season with the Detroit Red Wings. "Mike Modano is a once-in-a-generation player and an American hockey icon," said Stars President and CEO Jim Lites in a statement. "His contributions to our team, including winning the Stanley Cup and helping build hockey in Texas are immeasurable. Were proud of everything Mike accomplished in a Stars uniform and are honored that his number 9 will hang in our rafters." Modano retired in 23rd place on the all-time goal scoring list, and was 22nd in points. He won the Stanley Cup with Dallas in 1999. Leonys Martin Jersey .

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee believes its shortened roster shouldnt limit its expectations.The 13th-ranked Lady Volunteers have only nine available players due to knee injuries that will sideline guard Tea Cooper and forward Cheridene Green for the entire season and a variety of injuries that caused guard Andraya Carter to forgo her final year of eligibility. Tennessee opens the season Friday at James Madison.It may affect how we play a little bit, Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said. Maybe we cant run as much, we cant press as much. But you have a capability of winning with who we have on the floor. Theyre quality kids.Tennessee has dealt with similar situations before. The Lady Vols have encountered injury problems in each of Warlicks four previous seasons as coach, from the head injury that sidelined Ariel Massengale for much of the 2013-14 season to the foot surgery that sidelined Mercedes Russell for the entire 2014-15 campaign.But the depth issues are particularly acute this season as Tennessee chases its first Final Four appearance since its 2008 championship. The Lady Vols have lost in the regional finals five of the last six years.Youve got to keep grinding, Warlick said. Youve got to keep moving forward. Thats what were doing. Were down to nine players who can play, but theyre solid. Theyre solid. You dont have to worry about playing time. Everybodys going to play.In the frontcourt, Tennessee must replace Bashaara Graves, who ended her college career as one of only five Lady Vols ever to combine 1,000 rebounds and 1,500 points.Tennessee could use a big season from Russell, a 6-foot-6 junior center. Russell averaged 9.9 points and 8.3 rebounds last season but showed shes capable of much more by delivering 25 points and 15 rebounds in a regional semifinal victory over Ohio State.The Lady Vols also are seeking a boost from 6-3 graduate transfer Schaquilla Nunn, who missed the entire 2015-16 season with a broken foot after averaging 11.2 points and 10.3 rebounds in three seasons at Winnthrop.ddddddddddddennessees backcourt must replace the playmaking and shooting ability of Cooper, who averaged 8.6 points per game last season.Weve got talent on this team, junior guard Diamond DeShields said. Weve got the pieces to do something special. Whats going to happen is that we are going to have to find it within ourselves because it isnt (just) two or three people that will do it. Its like what are the nine of us going to bring each and every night consistently to benefit this team.Tennessee needs DeShields to bring plenty.DeShields arrived at Tennessee with much fanfare after being named the Atlantic Coast Conference rookie of the year her lone season at North Carolina. But after sitting out the 2014-15 season due to NCAA transfer rules, the 6-foot-1 guard battled nagging leg injuries and struggled to adapt to her new teammates last season.Late in the season, DeShields turned a corner and helped Tennessee make a surprising run to an NCAA regional final as a No. 7 seed.I feel better physically and emotionally, DeShields said. I think that will transcend my game to another level and hopefully allow me to elevate my teammates games as well.Tennessee struggled to a 22-14 record last season and set a school record for losses before rallying in the tournament. Warlick acknowledged the Lady Vols were searching for leadership at times last season.She says that wont be a problem this year. Warlick praises the leadership that senior guard Jordan Reynolds and DeShields have shown thus far. Warlick also notes how much junior forward Jaime Nared has improved over the last year.All of them are eager to show what they learned during a trying 2015-16 season.It was a character builder, Warlick said. Im really proud of them. I think were building this year on how we ended (last season), and thats a positive for us.---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
