DES MOINES, IA - The Iowa Stars today learned that their National Hockey League (NHL) affiliate, the Dallas Stars, have re-signed forward Mathias Tjarnqvist (muh-TEE-uhs shyahrn-kvist) to a two-year contract through the 2007-2008 season. Per club policy, no financial terms have been disclosed.
In 34 games with Iowa, the 27-year-old Tjarnqvist garnered 29 points, including 17 goals. The Swedish-born forward lays claim to the first Iowa Stars Hat-Trick: January 18th in Grand Rapids.
