Some transactional news out of Cedar Park today: the Texas Stars have added defenseman Tyler Ludwig for the upcoming season. Ludwig, who as we all know by now is the son of former NHLer Craig Ludwig, played with the T-Stars for seven games at the end of last season. With his collegiate career behind him now, he will have an opportunity this year to join his brother, Trevor, and show what he can do with a full season.
