Frisco, TX - The Dallas Stars named Brett Hull as the team's special advisor to hockey operations on Tuesday while Dave Taylor was named director of player personnel.
The 43-year-old Hull, who helped the Stars capture the Stanley Cup in 1999 as a player, was promoted from his role as special assistant to the president.
'I have always wanted to help a team win the Stanley Cup from the business side of things,' said Hull. 'I am excited about this next challenge in my life and look forward to working with the entire hockey operations department on a deeper level.'
Hull played in 218 regular season games with Dallas, scoring 95 goals and adding 101 assists. In 55 playoff games with the club, he had 21 goals and 25 helpers.
Prior to joining Dallas, Taylor spent the last 10 seasons in the Los Angeles Kings organization, the last nine as general manager, and is the winningest GM in team history.
'I'm both proud and excited to be joining such a successful organization in the Dallas Stars,' said the 51-year-old Taylor. 'I'm looking forward to joining their group and helping them win their next championship.'
