WELCOME “F

or last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice,” wrote the great poet and essayist T.S. Eliot. With that in mind, it’s time to say goodbye to 2018, and welcome 2019 … May the Force Be With You! Hot guys, cheering crowds, sizzling excitement and cool ice: I’ve just described the Stanley Cup winning Dallas Stars. Our latest Dallas Hotel Magazine cover story features a pair of young NHL superstars: Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin. We threw a few choice questions their way, and what they told us may surprise you – and each other.
