An American History: Pictured at top left with the Blackhawks prior to being dealt to the Americans in a blockbuster trade in 1995 for two puck bags and a JockPlus to be named later. In the center Mr. Lightning is shown at the NFL All Star Banquet prior to receiving the coveted Con Queso Award in May 1994. Photo on right from Americans 6-1 victory over the Maple Leafs in the HHA Championship Semi-Final game December 10, 1997.

In the Center, shown with the Stanley Cup just prior to it's delivery to Dallas for the Star's First Stanley Cup Victory ever.

Coincidence that THREE Texas teams all won their first Championships in less than 12 months? We think not!
