  • Dallas Stars President & CEO Brad Alberts
    Apr 16 2026
    Dallas Stars President and CEO Brad Alberts joins Gavin Spittle on this edition of Spits and Suds. Brad explains how the organization is also left in the dark until the league makes the announcement when the playoffs start. Brad has debated with schedulers with late puck drops for the Stars when they play in the late game. He says the league acknowledges it but they don’t have a fix for it. When Brad first took over in 2011 the team was not having the kind of success it has had recently. He says he doesn’t take that for granted. He explains how season ticket prices are determined, the multi-year discussions about AAC renovations, Brad’s love for the eye emoji, the Stars hosting the Stadium Series this year and the success of players moving from the Texas Stars to the Dallas Stars.
