The breakdown of the AHL schedule continues with the Texas Stars (Dallas Stars) down in Austin (kind of). If you haven’t been to Texas or the Austin area before and are looking to get out of the cold this winter, maybe go down and enjoy “Bat City”. There is a pseudo-rivalry here. Iowa’s last AHL-franchise, the Stars/Chops, skipped town in 2008 for the Lone Star State, much like how Minnesota got cucked by Dallas in the early 90s.
