Hockey's footprint in North Texas has been growing since Mike Modano and the Dallas Stars came to town- But sometimes it takes a painful step back.
On Sunday Denton's "Lonestar Rink" shut its doors for the last time after the owner of the property sold the space to a manufacturing company. The facility opened in December of 2010, serving the community for nearly five years before its untimely demise.
Its closure leaves the Southwest Collegiate Hockey League without a key venue, and the University of North Texas' inline squad without a place to practice.
