'''Michael Thomas Modano Jr.''' ({{IPAc-en|m|oʊ-|ˈ|d|ɑː|n|oʊ}}; born June 7, 1970) is an American former professional [[ice hockey]] player. He played as a [[Centre (ice hockey)|center]] and spent most of his career with the [[Minnesota North Stars]]/[[Dallas Stars]] franchise. He spent the final season of his career with his hometown [[Detroit Red Wings]].

As the all-time goal-scoring and points leader amongst American-born players in NHL history, Modano is widely regarded as one of the greatest American-born ice hockey players of all time.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" /> He was drafted [[List of first overall NHL draft picks|first overall]] by the North Stars in [[1988 NHL entry draft|1988]], and after the team moved to [[Texas]] he helped the Stars win the [[Stanley Cup]] in [[1999 Stanley Cup Finals|1999]].

Modano is considered one of the most influential figures in popularizing ice hockey in Texas and the [[southern United States]].<ref>[http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/4893/mike-modano-says-goodbye Mike Modano Says Goodbye], [[Grantland]]</ref> Modano was inducted into the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]] on November 17, 2014.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Hasek, Modano in Hall's Class of 2014 |url=https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/hasek-modano-in-halls-class-of-2014/c-723528 |website=NHL.com |date=June 23, 2014 |access-date=May 15, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210015634/https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/hasek-modano-in-halls-class-of-2014/c-723528 |archivedate=December 10, 2017}}</ref><ref name=":7">{{Cite web |title=Legends of Hockey - Induction Showcase - Mike Modano |url=https://www.hhof.com/induction_archives/ind14Modano.shtml |access-date=2024-02-13 |website=www.hhof.com}}</ref> In 2017, he was named one of the [[100 Greatest NHL Players]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Allen |first=Kevin |title=Mike Modano: 100 Greatest NHL Players |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/mike-modano-100-greatest-nhl-hockey-players/c-285495020 |access-date=May 15, 2017 |website=NHL.com |date=January 1, 2017}}</ref> In 2019, he was inducted into the [[IIHF Hall of Fame]].<ref name=":3" />

==Early life==
Modano was born in [[Livonia, Michigan]], the third child and only son of Michael Sr. and Karen Modano. He grew up in [[Highland Township, Oakland County, Michigan|Highland Township]], and due to causing problems at school with his mischievous behavior, a friend of his father suggested to put Modano in a team sport to get him controlled. Michael Sr. was a fan of hockey, and decided to teach [[ice skating]] to seven-year-old Modano. He learned it well, and six months later was put in local hockey teams. As a youth, he was part of a [[Detroit Red Wings]] team in the 1982 [[Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament]].<ref>{{Cite web |year=2018 |title=Pee-Wee players who have reached NHL or WHA |url=https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf |access-date=January 18, 2019 |website=Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament |archive-date=March 6, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306085544/https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> To spend his [[minor hockey]] career with the Detroit Little Caesar's Triple AAA Hockey Club, the Modano family moved to [[Westland, Michigan|Westland]], where he also attended [[Franklin High School (Livonia, Michigan)]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Q&A With Mike Modano |url=http://www.mikemodano.com/the-player/hockey-faq/ |website=mikemodano.com}}</ref> He made the Midget Major team at the age of fourteen when his teammates were two to three years older. In the 1984–85 season, Modano scored 50 goals and 50 assists on the way to win the [[USA Hockey]] National Championship in 1985.<ref name="lone">{{Cite book |last=Rusty Burson, Glenn Hart |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JsGiFh_B65gC |title=The Lone Star Skate: Improbable (But True) Stories of Texas's Hockey Heroes |publisher=BookPros, LLC |year=2011 |isbn=978-1934454381 |pages=67–96}}</ref><ref name="lc">{{Cite web |title=Detroit Little Caesars AAA Hockey Club powered by GOALLINE.ca |url=http://dlchc.goalline.ca/news.php?news_id=282984&lang= |access-date=December 27, 2013 |publisher=Dlchc.goalline.ca |date=August 6, 2010}}</ref> As a child Modano decided to pick the number 9 for his jersey in an homage to both [[Ted Williams]], an idol of his [[Boston Red Sox]] fan father, and the Red Wings' own [[Gordie Howe]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Modano, Stars Ready for Big Night |url=https://www.nhl.com/stars/news/modano-stars-ready-for-big-night/c-708404 |website=NHL.com |date=March 7, 2014 |access-date=May 15, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20181103131442/https://www.nhl.com/stars/news/modano-stars-ready-for-big-night/c-708404 |archivedate=November 3, 2018}}</ref>

==Playing career==

===Minor leagues (1986–1988)===
In 1986, 16-year-old Modano was invited by coach [[Rick Wilson (ice hockey)|Rick Wilson]] of the [[Prince Albert Raiders]] to come to [[Saskatchewan]] and join the [[Western Hockey League]] team. At his very first game, he scored a [[hat trick]], and by his second year, Modano was part of the WHL All-Star Team. Four days after Modano's eighteenth birthday, the [[Minnesota North Stars]] selected him as the first overall draft pick in the [[1988 NHL entry draft]]. Modano was the second American to be selected first overall in the draft, after [[Brian Lawton]] in 1983. Contract problems led Modano to play one more season with the Raiders.<ref name=lone/>

===Minnesota North Stars/Dallas Stars (1988–2010)===
The North Stars signed Modano on Christmas of 1988, and he joined the team for the [[1989-90 NHL season|1989–90 season]]. He scored his first career NHL goal against [[Glenn Healy]] of the [[New York Islanders]], and had a good rookie season which landed him on the [[NHL All-Rookie team]].<ref name=lone/> Modano was a finalist for the [[Calder Memorial Trophy]] but controversially lost to 31-year-old [[Sergei Makarov (ice hockey, born 1958)|Sergei Makarov]], who had already played professionally in the [[Soviet Championship League]] for over 12 years; this led to an age barrier of 26 for Calder candidates from the following year to the present.

Despite the good start, Modano was often criticized in Minnesota as an underachiever. This was evidenced by a sophomore season where the North Stars reached the [[Stanley Cup Finals]], but Modano's point production dropped, while confronting head coach [[Bob Gainey]] for his overtly defensive style. In 1992, Modano signed a four-year extension that made him the highest-paid member of the team, receiving $2 million per year. He soon had his best season up to that point, scoring 93 points at the [[1992–93 NHL season]] and earning his first [[NHL All-Star Game]] invitation.<ref name=lone/>

====Stars move to Dallas====
Prior to the [[1993–94 NHL season]], the North Stars moved to [[Dallas]] to become the [[Dallas Stars]]. Considering the relocation to [[Texas]] as an opportunity for a fresh start, with different expectations from fans and the media, Modano decided to accept Gainey's suggestions to become a more complete player and perform more attacks. Modano recorded a personal-best 50 goals and again scored 93 points. Soon he became an idol in Dallas, becoming the player who sold the most jerseys and received the most letters. During the next two seasons, Modano lowered his goalscoring and had many injuries – a [[concussion]], a knee injury and ruptured ankle tendons – but improved his defensive play. Despite that, the Stars failed to qualify for the [[1996 Stanley Cup playoffs]], and Gainey stepped down as head coach, while remaining general manager.<ref name=lone/>

[[Ken Hitchcock]] was hired on January 8, 1996, as Dallas' coach, installing a defensive-minded system while requesting Modano to concentrate on his offense and using him more routinely – instead of the 15–18 minutes he played under Gainey, Modano routinely played 25 minutes with Hitchcock.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Heika |first1=Mike |title=Modano, Hull remember 1999 Cup Final as if it was 'just yesterday' |date=June 19, 2024 |url=https://www.nhl.com/stars/news/mike-modano-brett-hull-remember-1999-stanley-cup-final-as-if-it-was-just-yesterday |publisher=NHL |access-date=14 August 2025}}</ref> Helped by the acquisitions of [[Joe Nieuwendyk]] and [[Sergei Zubov]], Modano led the Stars to the [[Central Division (NHL)|Central Division]] title in the [[1996–97 NHL season|1996–97 season]]. In the 1997-98 season, having acquired goaltender [[Ed Belfour]], the Stars won the [[Presidents' Trophy]] with the league's top regular season record. In the [[1998 Stanley Cup playoffs]] the Stars reached the [[Western Conference (NHL)|Western Conference Finals]] where they fell in six games to the eventual back-to-back [[Stanley Cup]] champions, the [[Detroit Red Wings]].<ref name=lone/>

In the 1998-99 season, the Stars won their second straight Presidents' Trophy. The Stars proceeded to win the Western Conference Finals over the [[Colorado Avalanche]] in seven games. Modano played all six games of the [[1999 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]] against the [[Buffalo Sabres]] despite breaking his wrist in Game 2.<ref name=lone/> Modano assisted on the Stars' final five goals of the series, including both in Game 5 and Game 6, the latter by [[Brett Hull]] in the third overtime period which won the Stanley Cup for the Stars. Modano led the Stars with 23 points in the playoffs, with all seven in the finals on assists.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Stars win Stanley Cup! |publisher=Sportsillustrated.cnn.com |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/1999/playoffs/news/1999/06/19/stanleycup_final/index.html |access-date=May 15, 2024 |date=June 20, 1999 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20010124024100/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/1999/playoffs/news/1999/06/19/stanleycup_final/index.html |archivedate=January 24, 2001}}</ref> 

In a rematch with the Colorado Avalanche which went to seven games, the Stars captured their second consecutive Western Conference title. The Stars returned to the finals in [[2000 Stanley Cup Finals|2000]] against the [[New Jersey Devils]]. Modano scored the overtime goal that gave the Stars a victory in game 5,<ref>{{Cite news |title=Mo' to come |publisher=Sportsillustrated.cnn.com |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/2000/playoffs/news/2000/06/08/stars_devils_game5_slam/ |date=July 27, 2000| access-date=May 15, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20000829065913/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/2000/playoffs/news/2000/06/08/stars_devils_game5_slam/ |archivedate=August 29, 2000}}</ref> but in Game 6 in Dallas, the Devils wound up closing the series 4–2.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Devil of a Time |publisher=Sportsillustrated.cnn.com |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/features/cover/news/2000/07/27/devil_of_a_time/index.html |date=June 19, 2000 |access-date=May 15, 2024 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20010127153500/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/features/cover/news/2000/07/27/devil_of_a_time/index.html |archivedate=January 27, 2001}}</ref> Hull and Modano led the postseason in scoring, with Modano putting together 23 playoff points for the second straight year.

Modano averaged 78 points per season from 1996 to 2002, and was also one of the NHL's top forwards in [[Plus-minus (ice hockey)|plus/minus]] over that span (his +43 in 1997 was second only to [[John LeClair]]'s +44 mark). Modano's career high for points in a game is six (2–4–6) against the [[Anaheim Ducks]], and he has seven career hat tricks. His only career fight was against [[Rod Brind'Amour]]. He was also a finalist for the [[Frank J. Selke Trophy]] (2001), and the [[Lady Byng Trophy]] (2003). In 2002-03, Modano was named the captain of the Western Conference All-Star team.

====2005–2010====
As the long-time face of the Dallas franchise, he has recorded over 1,000 NHL points and became the captain of the Stars in 2003. During the 2005 offseason, Modano contemplated signing with the [[Boston Bruins]], but he decided to stay with the Stars after owner [[Tom Hicks]] got involved. Modano would sign a five-year contract extension with Dallas on August 5, 2005. On September 29, 2006, [[Brenden Morrow]] replaced him as the Stars' [[captain (ice hockey)|captain]]; Modano served an alternate captain from that time until 2010, a role in which he had previously served from 1995 to 2003.

Modano scored his 500th career regular-season goal on March 13, 2007, with 10:24 left in the 3rd period in a regulation win against [[Antero Niittymäki]] of the [[Philadelphia Flyers]] with assists by [[Antti Miettinen]] and [[Jon Klemm]]. He is only the 14th goal scorer to score 500 goals with a single team and the 39th player to reach 500 goals overall.

[[File:Modano Record Goal.jpg|thumb|left|Modano's shorthanded, record breaking goal, November 7, 2007]]
On March 17, 2007, in an away game versus the [[Nashville Predators]], Modano scored his 502nd and 503rd career regular-season goals in a 3–2 loss, thus passing [[Joe Mullen]]'s NHL record (502) for most goals scored by an American-born player.

Modano also holds the NHL all-time record for most points scored by a U.S.-born player. He broke the record, which previously belonged to [[Phil Housley]], on November 7, 2007, by scoring two goals in the first five minutes, with the record-breaker being a short-handed goal on a breakaway, against the [[San Jose Sharks]]. That night, amongst his congratulatory phone calls was one from [[Air Force One]], U.S. President [[George W. Bush]] spoke to him for a few minutes about the record.

The Stars' game on November 21, 2007, was named "Mike Modano Tribute Night" at [[American Airlines Center]], where Modano was honored by the franchise for his achievements in U.S. hockey. Those who spoke in the [[pre-game ceremony]] included [[Brett Hull]], [[Joe Mullen]], [[Phil Housley]], and Stars owner [[Tom Hicks]]. Capping off an emotional night, Modano later went on to score the game-tying goal, as well as a shootout goal in a 3–2 Stars victory against the [[Anaheim Ducks]].

With his production declining from 2007 to 2010, Modano played out the duration of his contract, which expired after the 2009–10 season. In the final game of that season (coincidentally played in Minnesota, where Modano began his pro career), Modano was saluted with a video tribute and a standing ovation, and named the game's first star, skating around the ice wearing a [[Minnesota North Stars]] jersey.
