The Dallas Stars organization announced Friday they have named Hockey Hall of Famer and Stanley Cup Champion Sergei Zubov as the team's Senior Consultant to Hockey Operations.

Zubov is no stranger to the Stars' organization, having spent 12 of his 16 seasons as a defenseman and alternate captain with the team.

General Manager Jim Nill commented on Zubov's return, stating "We are thrilled to bring Sergei back into the Stars family." Nill went on to say, "He has been a big part of building hockey here in Dallas as a player, and we are excited for him to continue adding to that legacy in this management role. He has a brilliant hockey mind and his presence in the organization will benefit us all."

The Hall of Famer has spent parts of eight seasons in various coaching positions across the KHL (Kontinental Hockey League,) including head coach of HC Sochi.

Zubov was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame this past November, after an illustrious 16 season career with the Stars, Penguins and Rangers.

Over his 16 seasons, Zubov netted 771 points through 1,068 games. The Hall of Fame defenseman would also make 3 NHL All-Star appearances, and hoist the Stanley Cup in 1994.
