“The Dallas Stars have a solid history with Scott White and congratulate him on his new role with the Texas Stars Hockey Club,” Hull said. “We are very excited that he will be overseeing the hockey side of our primary development affiliate for the Dallas Stars.”
White is currently the director of minor league hockey operations for the Dallas Stars. Hired as Iowa’s director of hockey operations on May 26, 2005, White joined the Stars organization after four seasons as head coach of the Columbia Inferno of the ECHL. He served as an assistant coach with the Greensboro Monarchs (ECHL) for a season and a half, and was assistant coach at his alma mater, Michigan Tech University, from 1989-1994.
The former defenseman also played five years of professional hockey in the ECHL, IHL and AHL. “I am truly fortunate to accept the position of the first general manager of the Texas Stars Hockey Club,” White said. “This is a great opportunity to see this team and new events center grow and become a success in the city of Cedar Park.”
The announcement was made at the Cedar Park Regional Medical Center (CPRMC). Additionally, Texas Stars President and Cedar Park Center General Manager Rick McLaughlin announced that the CPRMC has become the first founding partner of the Cedar Park Center.
“I would like to thank the CPRMC Center and their CEO Dr. David Klein for becoming our first Founding Partner of the Cedar Park Center,” McLaughlin said. “We both share the same vision that the Event Center will be a wonderful destination for millions of fans, and that this is a tremendous opportunity for the community and our partners.”
“It is vitally important to Cedar Park Regional Medical Center that we be a good community partner,” Dr. Klein added. “We are known for providing excellent and thoughtful care to our community and we are thrilled to be able to provide that same level of care for the Texas Stars Hockey players and the Cedar Park Center. Whether you’re a professional athlete or weekend warrior, CPRMC is the community’s partner in good health, from orthopedic surgery to emergency care and everything in-between; we are here whenever the need arises.”
