2011 Dallas Stars Alumni Classic

To complete today's trifecta of posts, the 2011 Dallas Stars Alumni Classic was held this evening at the Dr. Pepper StarCenter in Frisco, Texas.

Stars alumni were mixed with current players and the teams were split into a "Black Team" and "White Team" format.  Carbo, who was assigned to the Black Team, played on a line with another #21, Loui Eriksson, and his old Stars and Canadiens teammate, Mike Keane.  He tallied two assists.  Also on the Black Team was Ed Belfour, playing defence!

The White Team, featuring newly retired Mike Modano, came out on top and won the game 11-9.  (Dallas Morning News)

Also, Carbo will be playing in the 2011 Dr. Pepper Golf Classic, tomorrow at the Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas.  (Dallas Stars)

Hello and welcome.

I've been a Carbo fan for going on four years now, and the idea to start this blog came into my head several times.  Surely there are others like me who like to keep apprised of his doings?  Hence, this blog.  The main, undisputed source for information on Guy Carbonneau is and always shall be Diane Lau's formidable website; this blog merely exists as a companion, with current info.

A special welcome to Carbo's many admirers from Quebec; while I have second-level French, this blog will exist for the time being in English only.

so let's start with a news roundup, shall we:

• on October 2 at the Dr. Pepper Stars Arena in Frisco, Texas, Carbo will be playing in the first annual Dallas Stars Alumni Classic.  any Stars fan would be crazy to miss this event, as it includes many players from the '99 championship team.  however, it is open to Stars season ticket holders only.  (Examiner.com)
• there's a nice sidebar about Carbo in this NHL.com article about his son-in-law Brenden Morrow here.
• on September 25 (that would be yesterday), Carbo attended the opening of the Pat Burns Arena in Quebec's Eastern Townships.  he participated in an alumni game and presented a sweater to Burns' widow, Line.  (CBC.ca)
