Editing Dallas Stars (section)

===Traditions===
Since the 2005–06 season, national anthems are performed by Celena Rae, a [[Fort Worth, Texas|Fort Worth]] native and a former semifinalist on ''[[American Idol]]''. During "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]", the fans yell the team name "stars" in the lines "whose broad stripes and bright stars" and "O say does that star spangled banner yet wave".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nhl.com/stars/fans/game-personalities | title=In-Game Personalities | access-date=August 24, 2022 | archive-date=August 24, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220824153107/https://www.nhl.com/stars/fans/game-personalities | url-status=live}}</ref> At games, as part of the entertainment, a Kahlenberg KDT-123 fog horn sounds after every Stars goal.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://goalhorns.frozenfaceoff.net/2014/01/dallas-stars.html|title=Dallas Stars|website=goalhorns.frozenfaceoff.net|access-date=January 15, 2017|archive-date=January 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116172029/http://goalhorns.frozenfaceoff.net/2014/01/dallas-stars.html|url-status=usurped}}</ref>

When the Stars take the ice at the beginning of each game, the song "Puck Off" (also referred to as the "Dallas Stars Fight Song") by [[Pantera]], is played in the arena. Members of the [[Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex|Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington]] metropolitan area band had become friends with members of the Stars in the 1990s, especially following the team's Stanley Cup win in 1999.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hookedonhockeymagazine.com/dallas-stars-and-the-mystery-dent-in-the-stanley-cup/|title=The Dallas Stars and the Mystery Dent in the Stanley Cup|last=Carlton|first=Brendon|website=hookedonhockeymagazine.com|date=December 25, 2013|access-date=January 15, 2017|archive-date=January 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116163016/http://www.hookedonhockeymagazine.com/dallas-stars-and-the-mystery-dent-in-the-stanley-cup/|url-status=live}}</ref> "Puck Off" later also became the team's goal celebration song. During the song, fans chant the only lyrics in the song, "Dallas! Stars! Dallas! Stars!" while pumping their fists in the air. After a penalty on the opposing team is announced, Stars public address announcer shouts, "Your Dallas Stars are on...the..." with the fans finishing "power play!", immediately after which a clip of the [[Muse (band)|Muse]] song "[[Knights of Cydonia]]" is played. After each Stars win, the [[Stevie Ray Vaughan]] (a Dallas native) and [[Double Trouble (band)|Double Trouble]] song "The House is a Rockin'" is played. A song of unknown origin called "The Darkness Music" is played after nearly every away goal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stars.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=449894|title=Darkness music a big hit.

The Stars have hosted a home game on New Year's Eve every year since 1997, except in 2004, 2012, 2019, 2020 and 2021 (the first two being due to lockouts, the third being due to their participation in the [[2020 NHL Winter Classic|2020 Winter Classic]], the fourth being due to the delayed off-season caused by the [[2019–20 NHL season#Suspension of the regular season due to COVID-19|COVID-19 pandemic]], and the fifth was postponed to February 13 due to a team-wide COVID-19 outbreak). For a period of time, the game coincided with the ''Big D NYE'' celebration (now on hiatus) on the south side of the arena in AT&T Plaza.<ref>{{cite web|title=AT&T Plaza |url=http://www.americanairlinescenter.com/about-aacenter/att_plaza.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080730132945/http://www.americanairlinescenter.com/about-aacenter/att_plaza.php|archive-date=July 30, 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
