- Stars Former Goalie Appears to Leave Role With Team
A member of the Dallas Stars alumni appears to have recently moved on from his position with the team.
According to the Stars website, former goaltender Ben Bishop is no longer listed in his role as player development coordinator.

Bishop was a key piece in righting the ship for the Stars between the pipes and had plenty of memorable moments in a Stars uniform. He led the team to Game 7 in the 2019 second round, making 52 saves in a near-heroic solo effort, but Dallas could not find a way to win the game. Bishop then went through injuries that culminated in a one game return in the 2020 COVID bubble run in which he did not look healthy enough to play. Soon after, Bishop had to retire due to those injuries, but the Stars wanted him to stick around as long as he wanted in any capacity.

This led to Bishop's role as player development coordinator once his NHL contract was up in 2023. He went all over watching prospects for Dallas and helped out with current players he had formed a relationship with before hanging up the skates.
A formal announcement of any sort has yet to be announced, but if the Stars website is correct, Bishop appears to have taken the next step in this new part of his life, which at age 38, he has a lot more of in front of him.
