[Virtual Jarmo]

Welcome to Prudential Center for the 2013 EHEC Entry Draft. We'd like to extend our congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins on their Stanley Cup victory and the Calgary Flames for a phenomenal playoff run. We'd also like to salute Martin Brodeur on a tremendous career and await his place in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

(standing ovation from NJ crowd)

Despite its gruff appearance, we'd like to thank the city of Newark for its hospitality this weekend. I'm sure that's not often said about Newark, which also boasts the world's worst airport, but the people and local businesses have been great to us this weekend and we appreciate it.

Many players are going to be taking the biggest step in their journeys of being hockey players this weekend. We'd like to honor them for their dedication, as well as honor their coaches, parents, and teammates for being a big part of their successes. Congratulations to all of you and best of luck in the future.

The time has come. The Dallas Stars are now on the clock.
