The ceremonial puck drop will feature local figure skating pair Timothy LeDuc and Ashley Cain-Gribble, who are competing at the 2022 Winter Olympics. LeDuc, the first openly nonbinary U.S. Winter Games athlete, and Cain-Gribble have trained together at Children's Health StarCenter Euless for the last five years. The lengthy list of accolades for the reigning U.S. National Pairs Champions includes being 2022 Olympic Team Members, 2019 and 2022 National Champions, four-time World team members and Grand Prix Medalists. LeDuc and Cain-Gribble are coached by Darlene and Peter Cain.
Fort Worth-based artist Christopher Najera Estrada has partnered with the Dallas Stars Foundation to design a one-of-a-kind shirt that will be available for purchase on Pride Night. The son of immigrants and a queer man, Estrada's work references his relationships with religion, love, mental health, family, nostalgia, the fragility and sturdiness of nature, Mexican machismo and Chicanx culture. He will also be designing a custom T-shirt for the team's upcoming Noche Mexicana celebration on March 2.
The team will wear special Pride-themed jerseys during warmups, along with having Pride Tape on their sticks. All jerseys will be auctioned off at
