Do the Dallas Stars Hate Children? Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

The Dallas Stars are in the process of building a new arena, and reports have emerged that they are getting some of that money from an unlikely place: the public schools. We discuss why and how the Stars are getting all that public money. We are also joined by Steve "Petey" Peters to discuss the Flyers, Rick Tocchet's future in Philly, and what teams he thinks are better or worse than they look.
