"Whip" Wylie - Hockey Hero  1261
As part of USA Hockey’s, Hockey Weekend Across America the Dallas Stars are proud to salute a true local hockey hero and legend, Duane “Whip” Wylie.

Whip grew up playing youth hockey in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. He was a member of the Moose Jaw Canucks before joining the St. Catharines Black Hawks of the Ontario Hockey Association Senior "A" Hockey League for the 1969-70 season and in 1970 Whip was drafted by the NHL’s New York Rangers. He then spent two seasons with the Flint Generals of the IHL before signing as a free agent with the Chicago Black Hawks in the fall of 1972.

In 1972-73, Wylie was a member of the Dallas Black Hawks of the CHL, leading the team to the league championship series before falling to the Omaha Knights in the finals. Coming so close in 1973, Wylie's strong play throughout the 1973-74 regular season led the Black Hawks to the 1974 CHL championship series where they defeated the Oklahoma City Blazers 4-1 in games.

Whip made his NHL debut with the Chicago Black Hawks during the 1974-75 season playing in six games. He scored once and added three assists for four points. Whip spent the majority of the season back in Dallas where, for a third consecutive year, his team reached the CHL championship series, losing to the Salt Lake City Golden Eagles.

However, Whip’s true legacy is his work with kids in the DFW area. For many years Whip has dedicated his life to teaching kids how to play, and more importantly to enjoy the game of hockey. He works extremely hard to make sure every player, young and old, leaves the rink with a smile on their face. His passion for the game is contagious and that passion been passed on to thousands of local kids. Whip resides in Richardson with is wife Kathy and daughter Trina.

The Stars are proud to present Whip with custom framed letters of congratulations from Dallas Stars President Jeff Cogen and Chicago Blackhawks President John McDonough, as well as a team autographed Dallas Stars jersey. Thank you Whip for your dedication and service to hockey in the Metroplex. You’re a true Hockey Hero!
