Modano, Roenick headline North Stars/Wild vs. Blackhawks Stadium Series alumni game
The NHL announced the alumni game rosters for February’s Stadium Series game between the Minnesota North Stars/Wild and the Chicago Blackhawks.

Good to see big names like Chris Chelios, Jeremy Roenick, Denis Savard, Mike Modano and Dino Ciccarelli there. But we can’t help but notice a lack of players that could be involved who are currently not listed.
For the Blackhawks, we’d love to see Al Secord, currently an airline pilot, or San Jose Sharks scout Dirk Graham; or how about Steve Larmer? Doug Wilson? Ed Belfour? Ed Olczyk? Darren Pang?
