Dallas Stars to be fined for practice during holiday break
-
Emily Kaplan, Senior NHL Insider
The NHL will fine the Dallas Stars for violating CBA rules by holding an optional practice during the league’s holiday break, a league source told ESPN on Sunday.
The rules that the NHL and NHLPA agreed upon stipulate that all teams must be dark between Dec. 24 and Dec. 26. However, Stars coach Peter DeBoer revealed Friday, ahead of a game against the Minnesota Wild, that several Stars players were at the rink Thursday.
“I was at the rink yesterday,” DeBoer told reporters Friday. “We had an optional, and of course, the young guys all show up for the optional like, you know, they’re supposed to do.”
The NHL launched an investigation after DeBoer’s comments. According to sources, the Stars fully cooperated with the investigation.
In a memo Dec. 23, the NHL reminded teams of the rules, including that teams are not allowed to travel nor offer players ice time during the break.
There is some recent precedent. In 2022, the Toronto Maple Leafs were fined $100,000 for having players travel Dec. 26 for a game in St Louis on Dec. 27. The Philadelphia Flyers had a similar infraction in 2015, when they were also fined. The league sees this as a competitive disadvantage as teams that play Dec. 27 are expected to travel the morning of the game. The money for such a fine typically goes toward the NHL Foundation.
The NHL also institutes a trade freeze over the holidays, which was lifted at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday.
The NHL source said it was unclear whether the Stars had been notified Sunday afternoon. Dallas plays the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night.
The Dallas Stars have been hit with a hefty fine after it was discovered that they held a practice session during the NHL’s mandated holiday break. The team’s decision to hit the ice during this time off has not gone unnoticed, with the league taking swift action to penalize them for their actions.The Stars have been fined $100,000 for violating the league’s rules regarding holiday breaks. The NHL has strict guidelines in place to ensure that players have time to rest and recover during the holiday season, and teams are expected to adhere to these rules.
Team officials have issued a statement apologizing for their actions and have promised to take steps to ensure that this type of violation does not happen again in the future. The Stars have also pledged to donate the fine money to a local charity as a way to make amends for their mistake.
This incident serves as a reminder to all NHL teams that the holiday break is a time for players to recharge and spend time with their families, and any violations of this rule will not be taken lightly. The Stars will now have to focus on moving past this setback and continuing their pursuit of success on the ice.

Australia vs India: Virat Kohli fined for barging Sam Konstas in Melbourne Test
India’s Virat Kohli has been fined 20% of his match fee after barging into Australia opener Sam Konstas on day one of the fourth Test in Melbourne.
Kohli clashed shoulders with Konstas at the end of the 10th over, with the former India captain appearing to change direction to make contact as the 19-year-old walked down the pitch to speak to batting partner Usman Khawaja.
The pair exchanged words before the umpires and Khawaja calmed the situation down.
Match referee Andy Pycroft said Kohli, 36, had breached International Cricket Council (ICC) guidelines about “inappropriate physical contact”.
As well as the fine, Kohli incurred one demerit point, but is free to play the fifth and final Test in Sydney next month.
The ICC said Kohli had accepted the punishment, so no formal disciplinary hearing was required.
Konstas, making his Test debut, went on to hit 60 from 65 balls to help Australia reach 311-6 at the close of play.
In a shocking turn of events during the ongoing Test series between Australia and India, Indian captain Virat Kohli has been fined for his altercation with Australian fielding coach Sam Konstas during the Melbourne Test.The incident occurred when Kohli was walking back to the pavilion after being dismissed, and he appeared to barge into Konstas, who was standing near the boundary ropes. The Australian team immediately lodged a complaint with the match officials, leading to Kohli being fined 25% of his match fee for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct.
This incident has added further tension to an already heated series between the two cricketing powerhouses. Both teams have been involved in sledging and on-field confrontations throughout the series, and this latest incident only adds to the drama.
Fans on both sides are eagerly awaiting the next match in Sydney, where tensions are sure to be running high. Will Kohli and the Indian team be able to put this incident behind them and focus on the game, or will it be a distraction that affects their performance on the field? Only time will tell.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as the Australia vs India Test series continues to unfold.
