SJS@DAL: Stars honor Anderson McDuffie with puck drop

Anderson McDuffie is ready to play some hockey. And he wants to play against his favorite team.

Born with a heart condition that has required two major surgeries already, the 10-year-old hockey fanatic was hosted by the Stars and asked to drop the ceremonial first puck on Friday.
But that's just for starters. A big announcement came over the public address system at American Airlines Center.
On January 16, McDuffie and his youth hockey team, the EKGs, will get to lace up their skates against his favorite team, made possible by the Dallas Stars Foundation and Make-A-Wish of North Texas.
