The Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League are in Kelowna as part of a two-day pit stop on their way to Winnipeg.

The Stars played in Vancouver last night so the team had an optional skate at the Rockets home barn on Tuesday morning.

Former Kelowna Rockets star and now Dallas Stars Captain Jamie Benn was in attendance. He says it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 feel like so long ago that he laced up for the Rockets.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 definitely nice being back. I was excited to come here when I talked about it with Hitch (Ken Hitchcock). This city and this team turned me into more of a man and a better hockey player,香蕉视频直播� said Benn. 香蕉视频直播淭ime has flown by, I remember living and playing here like it was yesterday. I have so many great memories here.香蕉视频直播�

Benn wasn香蕉视频直播檛 the only one praising Kelowna. Stars Head Coach Ken Hitchcock who coached the Kamloops Blazers from 1984-1990 had some kind words about the city as well.

香蕉视频直播淭his is a big city now, this is a growing city,香蕉视频直播� Hitchcock said. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 very vibrant. You have one of the best rinks in the league, one of the best franchises in the league, and the whole city itself feels like a major league city.香蕉视频直播�

The Stars are practicing once more in Prospera Place on Wednesday before they make their way to Manitoba to take on the Jets.

Both skates in Kelowna are closed to the public at the request of the Dallas Stars.
