The Dallas Stars have signed defenseman Aram Minnetian to a three-year entry-level contract, effective from 2026. This significant move comes as Minnetian prepares to report to the Texas Stars of the AHL for the remainder of the year.
Minnetian’s impressive performance at Boston College saw him record 11 points (2-9—11) in 36 games, showcasing his potential as a valuable asset to the team. Additionally, he contributed two assists in six games for Team USA at the 2025 U20 IIHF World Junior Championship, further solidifying his reputation on the international stage.
His accolades include winning a gold medal with Team USA at the 2023 U18 IIHF World Junior Championship, where he registered four points. Overall, he accumulated 31 points (7-24—31) and a remarkable plus-minus rating of plus-48 in 62 games with the U.S. National Development Program.
In a separate development, Tania Warner and her daughter are currently being held by federal agents in Texas after being stopped while returning from a baby shower. Warner was in the U.S. legally on a work visa, highlighting ongoing immigration issues in the state.
Meanwhile, the Texas Children’s Houston Open is set to begin on Thursday, featuring 135 players competing for the title. Notably, Min Woo Lee won the Texas Children’s Houston Open in 2025, adding to the event’s prestige.
As the Texas sports scene continues to evolve, reactions to Minnetian’s signing have been positive, with fans eager to see how he will perform in the AHL. The Dallas Stars’ decision reflects their commitment to developing young talent and strengthening their roster for the future.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the implications of Warner’s situation, but it underscores the complexities surrounding immigration enforcement in Texas.
