FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Stars are bringing back longtime assistant Rick Wilson, who once briefly served as their head coach.
Stu Barnes, another former assistant, was hired Thursday to be on the staff of coach Ken Hitchcock. The Stars in April re-hired Hitchcock more than 15 years after firing the coach who led them to their only Stanley Cup championship.
Dallas also retained assistant Curt Fraser, who has been with the Stars for four seasons.
After Hitchcock was fired during the 2001-02 season, Wilson was head coach for the final 32 games.
