The Dallas Stars had a stately start to their season thanks to a surprise appearance from George W. Bush on Thursday.

The 43rd president of the United States visited the Stars locker room to read the lineup before Dallas' opening game, then walked out to center ice at American Airlines Arena for the ceremonial puck drop. Bush was met with a roaring standing ovation from the crowd.
Bush, who turned 73 in July, settled in the Dallas area after his presidency.
