Dallas Stars Mysteriously Cancel Practice

The Dallas Stars were supposed to hit the ice on Friday for practice as the team is gearing up for next week's season opener and it's being reported they will not be hitting the ice and practice has been cancelled.

While this normally wouldn't be making the news, there's a ton of concern COVID has poked it's ugly head into their dressing room and the team has cancelled practice based on the concern and health protocols.

The Stars have cancelled practice today. The team cannot reveal why, and the league will handle communication on this matter.

The league is the only body able to send updates related to COVID so don't expect to hear anything from the team. Let's hope it's nothing to serious and the team can get back to normal operations tomorrow.

The Stars are starting the year without star Tyler Seguin who is out until at least April and the team is hoping no other players are going to miss significant time early on this season as they attempt to repeat as western conference champions.
