In a move that has electrified fans and sent waves of excitement throughout the National Hockey League (NHL), Dallas Stars Head Coach Glen Gulutzan made a major announcement today: star forward Jason Robertson has been named the new team captain of the Dallas Stars.

Flanked by team executives and longtime players during a press conference at the American Airlines Center, Gulutzan said, “This is the best news we could hope for — not just for our team, but for our entire fanbase. Jason represents everything we want in a leader: talent, humility, consistency, and a relentless drive to win.”

A Leader On and Off the Ice

At just 25 years old, Jason Robertson has already established himself as one of the NHL’s premier forwards. Since being drafted 39th overall in 2017, he has become a cornerstone of the Stars’ offense, consistently posting 40+ goal seasons and leading by example with his work ethic and positive attitude.

The decision to award him the captaincy reflects both his stellar performance on the ice and the respect he commands in the locker room.

“He doesn’t just score goals — he inspires people,” said veteran defenseman Miro Heiskanen. “Jason has been a quiet leader for years, and now it’s official.”

The Right Time for a New Era

The captaincy was previously held by Jamie Benn, who wore the “C” with distinction since 2013. Coach Gulutzan and team officials were quick to point out that this change comes with Benn’s full support.

“Jamie has been an incredible captain, and he’s still a crucial part of our leadership group,” Gulutzan emphasized. “But this is a natural evolution for our franchise. Jason is the future.”

Robertson, characteristically humble, accepted the role with gratitude. “I’m honored beyond words,” he said. “Jamie set the standard, and I’m just hoping to continue that legacy. We have something special here in Dallas, and I’ll do everything I can to bring a Cup back to this city.”

Fan Reactions Pour In

News of Robertson’s captaincy instantly lit up social media. Stars fans flooded X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Reddit with messages of excitement and support.

“Absolutely the right move. Jason bleeds green,” one user wrote. “This team is going places.”

Even NHL legends chimed in. Former Stars goalie Marty Turco tweeted, “Couldn’t be prouder. Jason’s earned it. The torch has been passed to the right hands.”

Looking Ahead

With a core of young stars including Robertson, Heiskanen, and Jake Oettinger, the Dallas Stars are poised for another strong playoff run next season. The new captaincy marks the beginning of what many believe will be a new golden era for the franchise.

Coach Gulutzan summed it up best: “This is more than a title change — it’s a declaration of who we are and where we’re going. And with Jason leading the way, the sky’s the limit.”
