The Dallas Stars have been part of countless memorable moments in hockey, and now fans can relive some of those stories in one of the funniest books ever written about the NHL.

Sean McIndoe, better known as Down Goes Brown, wrote The Down Goes Brown History of the NHL: The World's Most Beautiful Sport, the World's Most Ridiculous League. It's a mix of stats, unforgettable stories, and laugh-out-loud moments from more than a century of NHL action.

The Stars, of course, make their mark in the book, with nods to both the Minnesota No rth Stars and the franchise's biggest Dallas milestones.

The Dallas Stars' unforgettable moments in Down Goes Brown's NHL history

McIndoe's book dives into bizarre but true tales that make hockey history so unique.
Readers can enjoy chapters on trades that reshaped the league, teams making mistakes that lasted for years, and even the time a draft pick was decided by spinning a giant wheel.

It's this blend of humor and history that has made the book a must-read since its publication.

The Dallas Stars are included with stories about their relocation from Minnesota, as well as the famous 1999 Stanley Cup Final, where Brett Hull's skate in the crease led to one of the most controversial goals in NHL history.

That moment didn't just deliver Dallas its first Cup, it also led to a rule change still used today.

McIndoe doesn't just stick to the past either. The book predicted future NHL changes, including a team in Seattle and possible franchise relocations.

Fans reading it now will smile knowing how some of those predictions turned out.

As Blackout Dallas points out, the Stars' history is part of what makes the NHL so entertaining, and this book captures that perfectly.

I think it's always fun when the Stars are remembered not only for their wins but for their place in the NHL's wild and sometimes ridiculous history.
