Modano had an outstanding career, playing in 1499 games and scoring 561 goals while also assisting in 813 more, for a total of 1374 points. The statistics speak for themselves, and it's no surprise that he is the first name that comes to mind when thinking of the Dallas Stars' greats.
The ceremony was a fitting tribute to Modano, and the statue will serve as a reminder of his legacy for years to come. However, it was not an easy moment for Modano, and he became emotional during his speech. It's understandable, as it must be surreal to see oneself immortalized in bronze.
