 Both incarnations of the Central Hockey League had two teams in the area, the Fort Worth Texans and the Dallas Blackhawks for years before the Stars' arrival.These two teams were bitter rivals, and some of the traditions and famous rivalry incidents, including what is thought to be the first known use anywhere at an athletic event of "Rock and Roll Part 2" by Fort Worth and the famous "10 Cent Beer Night" near riot in 1978 helped create awareness of hockey.Amateur and youth hockey was also extremely popular because of the long presence of the minor league teams.
