The Dallas Stars have banned a fan for life from American Airlines Center after a video surfaced showing Nazi salutes during a home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The incident reportedly occurred in December, but the video gained widespread attention on social media recently. The club identified and contacted the person who purchased the tickets, banning that individual indefinitely, though it did not specify who in the video made the purchase.
Dallas players Oskar Bäck and Nils Lundkvist reportedly saw the video and called it "fruktansvärt" (terrible), supporting the club's decision. The Stars are reportedly intensifying efforts around the arena's code of conduct, including clearer communication of rules and increased staff training. The NHL's code of conduct emphasizes respect, inclusion, safety, and empowerment.
