The Stars are "already involved in Chinese hockey, entering a developmental agreement with the Beijing Shougang Hockey Club in September that involves the Stars' amateur coaching staff working with the Shougang Eagles." The team also announced the creation of a Weibo account, joining the "most popular social network in China." The Stars were the fifth NHL team to join Weibo (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 1/26).
