Ben Bishop says Stars are a great fit

Recently acquired Dallas Stars goaltender Ben Bishop arrived in town this week to start looking for a place to live. And Friday Stars GM Jim Nill showed him around the team's facilities at American Airlines Center.
The Dallas area isn't unfamiliar territory to Bishop, who spent the 2004-05 season in Frisco playing for the Texas Tornado of the North American Hockey League.
"It's nice to be back," said Bishop, who graduated from Frisco High School. "A lot has changed in 12 years, but it is exciting. We are looking forward to making this home for a long time. We're starting the search now for a place to call home."

It's been a long journey from that time with the Texas Tornado to now being a Dallas Star. A career in pro hockey wasn't top of mind back in 2004-2005 when Bishop joined the Tornado.
"I was 18-years-old and had no idea I would have been a professional hockey player," Bishop said. "I was just trying to make the team."
