After a rough end to December on the health front, the Texas Stars are back on the ice this weekend. No one could possibly be happier about that than head coach Neil Graham.
"We've had some practice time this week to get up and running again and really get back to work," said Graham when reached by phone Wednesday. "There's a genuine enthusiasm and excitement just to get back playing again."
Texas may or may not be back to full strength on Friday, but it will be competitive hockey at H-E-B Center. That hasn't happened since December 18th.
