| FRISCO, Texas — To celebrate the legacy and Hall-of-Fame career of Mike Modano, the Dallas Stars will unveil Modano’s statue on Saturday, March 16, 2024 at 4 p.m. Open to the public, the unveiling ceremony will take place on PNC Plaza at American Airlines Center prior to the Stars game against the LA Kings (7 p.m.).
“What Mike did for our franchise, the city of Dallas and the state of Texas will never be forgotten,” said Dallas Stars President and CEO Brad Alberts. “With his number hanging in the rafters, we’re thrilled to honor and celebrate the indelible impact he made in an everlasting way.”
 Sculpted by renowned international artist Omri Amrany and Sean Bell at the Fine Art Studio of Rotblatt Amrany in Highwood, Illinois, the sculpture will depict Mike showing his leadership approach making a split-second winning decision. “The team of Studio Rotblatt Amrany enjoyed meeting Mike Modano during the sculpting process which made sculpting at the times of the important decisions go well. We’re grateful for his support.”
The all-time highest scoring American-born player in the National Hockey League, Modano played 20 of his 21 seasons with the franchise after he was drafted first overall in 1988 by the Minnesota North Stars. Modano is the all-time franchise leader in nearly every category, including games played (1,459), goals (557), assists (802), points (1,359), shorthanded goals (29), game-winning goals (92) and power-play tallies (156).
An eight-time NHL All-Star and Hockey Hall-of-Fame inductee, Modano is also the American record holder in goals (561) and points (1,374) and was instrumental in helping the Stars capture the 1999 Stanley Cup championship.
