The Dallas Stars banned a ticket buyer from American Airlines Center after spectators appeared to perform a Nazi salute during a game.
A 12-second video showing male fans in the upper deck making the gesture in unison emerged from the Stars’ December 21, 2025, matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs. It coincided with the team’s goal song, “Puck Off” by Pantera.
The clip surfaced on Reddit, was deleted, then reposted on X.
“We identified and spoke with the individual that purchased the tickets and will be banning the individual indefinitely from the American Airlines Center,” the Stars said Monday in a statement provided to ESPN.
“Additionally, we are increasing in-arena messaging regarding the Fan Code of Conduct and how our fans can report violations, along with prioritizing staff training to identify and handle situations that arise,” the team said.
