Texas Stars Fall Forecast 2023

The 2023-23 Texas Stars may boast more genuine blue-chip prospects than they've ever had. They also have a diminished veteran presence and may struggle to reach the AHL playoffs. What shall we make of this conundrum?
No reporter knows the Cedar Park system better than 100 Degree Hockey founder Stephen Meserve. And in this sit-down with Mark, he once again shares his expertise with Stargazing. In this episode, learn more about:



the peaks and valleys of a rookie's journey through his first season,






what Lian Bichsel has learned about North American ice (and rules),






whether Logan Stankoven or Mavrik Bourque is poised to grab the first forward call-up,






how veterans factor into the team's plans for its prospects,






the Stars' investments in net,






Neil Graham's future with the organization,






and what the Idaho Steelheads are doing that makes "getting sent down" to the ECHL a bonus rather than a demotion.



Heads up: Stephen has written a feature for TheAHL.com that you won't want to miss. Follow him on the former bird app to make sure you're among the first to see it.
