I am a n autograph collector in Texas and I want some NHL autographs. If you know, what airport will the teams arrive at and what airlines will they fly?
Many arrive on private planes and airport security makes it nearly impossible to get access to them. They are quickly ushered out of the airport by private transport.
However, there’s a much simpler way… all hockey teams competing against the Stars utilize Dallas Stars facilities for their practice times in the day or so prior to the event. The practices are open to the public and there is a main area where they enter and exit and they always stop to give authographs. Admission is free. Be forewarned that autograph preference goes to children and youth players so if you try and push them aside the teams will retaliate and you won’t get anything.
You can check the calendar during hockey season here: http://www.drpepperstarcenter.com/. But their website is notorious for not getting updated so call each center (the teams rotate between them) the week of the game to ask about the schedule.
