Two more Dallas Stars icons of the past will be inducted into the Stars Hall of Fame this season, with Stanley Cup winner Joe Nieuwendyk and long-time play-by-play voice Ralph Strangis joining the elite few to have received the honor.

Credit: Lou Capozzola-USA TODAY NETWORK Nieuwendyk spent seven seasons in Dallas after a trade from Calgary in 1995, with the pinnacle of his Stars career coming in the Stanley Cup playoff run of 1999. He scored 21 points in 23 games and was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy for being the best player of the postseason, but also got to lift a much more important trophy afterwards. Without Nieuwendyk, Dallas may not have had what it took to get over the hump and win that lone Stanley Cup in franchise history. He is still the favorite player of many a Stars fan, and his jersey can still be seen sprinkled through the crowd on any game night. Strangis was the only voice of the Dallas Stars for a long time, moving with the team in 1993 and calling iconic moments for 22 years in Dallas. Still to this day, it's easy to say 'Ralph and Razor' to describe the broadcasting duo for the Stars because those two voices were so synonymous with Dallas Stars hockey for so long. Strangis moved on to call more NHL action, including for the Los Angeles Kings and for national radio and some television action as well, but his podcast work has brought him right back into the thick of Stars fandom. He could be seen at games throughout the playoffs rooting on the team that he covered for so long. Hall of Fame weekend will take place Nov. 14-16 with Nieuwendyk and Strangis getting to drop the ceremonial puck at the Philadelphia Flyers game that weekend.
