Michael Thomas Modano Jr. (/moʊˈdɑːnoʊ/; born June 7, 1970) is an American former professional ice hockey player, who played primarily for the Minnesota North Stars/Dallas Stars franchise. He spent the final season of his NHL career with his hometown Detroit Red Wings.
As the all-time goal-scoring and points leader amongst American-born players in NHL history, Modano is widely regarded as one of the greatest American-born ice hockey players of all time.[1][2][3] Modano was drafted first overall by the North Stars in 1988, and after the team moved to Texas he helped the Stars win the Stanley Cup in 1999.
Modano is considered one of the most influential figures in popularizing hockey in Texas and the southern United States.[4] Modano was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on November 17, 2014.[5][6] In 2017, he was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players.[7] In 2019, he was inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame.[8]
