KENTUCKY (CBSDFW.COM) – Former Dallas Stars goaltender Ed Belfour was arrested early Tuesday morning after police found him on a hotel floor “clutching a curtain rod that had been ripped out of the dry wall above a window next to him.”
Bowling Green Police Department officers said the 54-year-old damaged property at the Kentucky Grand Hotel and Spa and was “manifestly under the influence of alcohol to a point he was a danger to himself and others.”
Belfour, 54, of McKinney was arrested on charges of third-degree criminal mischief and alcohol intoxication in a public place, according to the citation. He had “slow slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, he could barely stand up, and he had the strong odor of alcohol on his breath.”

Belfour resisted officers too as they tried to handcuff him, according to the citation.
The man who called police was locked inside the spa room. He told police Belfour was drinking downstairs, where he tried to fight another hotel employee and hit a glass window in anger before moving upstairs and trying to force his way into the spa room, according to the report.
Belfour, a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, is widely considered one of the best goaltenders in NHL history. He is fourth all time in wins among NHL goalies and won a Stanley Cup in 1999 with the Dallas Stars and an Olympic gold medal in 2002 as a member of the Canadian national team. His NHL career also included stints with the Chicago Blackhawks, the San Jose Sharks, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers. He is popularly known as “Eddie the Eagle” due to his preference for wearing goalie masks emblazoned with images of eagles.
Tuesday’s incident was not Belfour’s first run-in with the law.
In 2000, he was reportedly arrested on charges of assault and resisting arrest after a fight with a police officer at a hotel in Dallas.
Belfour was also arrested in 2007 after he and a Florida Panthers teammate got into a scuffle with a police officer at a South Beach bar outside Miami.
He was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest following that incident.
Belfour won a Stanley Cup with the Dallas Stars in 1999.

SAN JOSE, CA - The San Jose City Council tonight unanimously approved a 200,000 square-foot expansion of Solar4America Ice at San Jose, which will add two additional recreational ice sheets to the facility, increasing the building's total ice sheets to six. The expansion will make Solar4America Ice at San Jose the largest ice facility under one roof west of the Mississippi River.
One of the additional ice sheets will be located inside a 4,200-seat, two-story spectator arena which will serve as the new home for the San Jose Barracuda, the American Hockey League (AHL) development affiliate of the National Hockey League's San Jose Sharks.
Construction for the facility is expected to begin in late April 2020, with a targeted completion date of April 2022.
"We are thrilled to enhance our partnership with the City of San Jose and add much-needed additional sheets of ice at Solar4America at San Jose," said Senior Vice President, SAP Center and Sharks Ice Jon Gustafson. "This facility has become an incredible community asset, hosting more than 1.2 million visitors each year. It is also an important economic engine for our city, generating thousands of dollars in Transient Occupancy Taxes through hosting national and international hockey and ice competitions, filling nearly 6,000 hotel rooms annually."
The expansion will double the facility's footprint to just under 400,000 square feet, making it one of the premier recreational ice facilities in North America. It will be LEED certified Silver when complete.
The expansion will also include 20,000 square feet for a dedicated medical facility, expanded and enhanced restaurant facilities, a homework study area and a fitness center.
The 4,200-seat spectator arena will include locker rooms, training facilities and executive office space for the Barracuda, an in-arena Jumbotron with a 360-degree LED display ring, 12 suites, eight loge boxes, one theatre suite, a 46-person party deck, three bar locations, seven food concession stations, a press room and press box and two team merchandise stores.
The ice surface in the spectator arena will be available for public use when not in use by the Barracuda.
Solar4America Ice at San Jose is owned by the City of San Jose and has been managed and operated by Sharks Ice LLC, a subsidiary of Sharks Sports & Entertainment, since 1998. Since that time, the facility has seen two previous large-scale expansions. In 1999, a third ice sheet and a training facility for the San Jose Sharks was completed. In 2005, a fourth ice sheet and Stanley's Sports Bar was added.
In conjunction with Solar4America Ice at San Jose, Sharks Ice LLC manages and operates two other ice facilities in the Bay Area; Solar4America Ice at Fremont and the Oakland Ice Center, Operated by Sharks Ice.
The Sharks Ice family of rinks serves a diverse list of ice sports, including ice hockey, figure skating, broomball, curling, speed skating, ice dancing, as well as public skating. The Sharks Ice umbrella is home to the largest adult hockey league in the United States, boasting more than 4,300 participants.
In addition to serving as the official practice and training facility for the Sharks and the Barracuda, Solar4America at San Jose also hosts the San Jose State University Spartans hockey team, the Jr. Sharks hockey program, the Peninsula Figure Skating Club and the Silicon Valley Curling Club.
Many of the Bay Area's most prominent ice skaters have called the Sharks Ice family of rinks home, including 2019 and 2020 U.S. Figure Skating National Champion Alysa Liu, who skates out of Oakland. In addition, 1992 Olympic champion Kristi Yamaguchi, 1996 U.S. National Champion Rudy Galindo, and 2014 Olympian Polina Edmunds have all based out of Solar4America Ice at San Jose. 2017 National Champion Karen Chen has also called Solar4America Ice at Fremont home.

The market for Brenden Dillon is heating up. It's sounding like more of a "when" rather than an "if" the Sharks' defenseman will be moved.
In a season where very little has gone right for San Jose, Dillon has been one of the few, consistent bright spots. He has appeared in every game while averaging over 19 minutes of ice time, and he leads all Sharks' defensemen in plus-minus. According to TSN Insiders Darren Dreger and Pierre LeBrun, the closer the NHL gets to the trade deadline, the more teams reportedly are inquiring about the blue-liner who is on pace to lead the Sharks in hits for the fourth straight season.
"Most definitely the Winnipeg Jets are in the market for a specific top-four defenseman," Dreger reported Tuesday. "Now, it could be a rental player, it could be a player with some term. They're not ruling out anything at this point."
Dillon is in the final year of his contract and is due to hit unrestricted free agency this summer, so he would fall into the rental category. Given the price Dillon is likely to command, that might not be ideal for Winnipeg, but Dreger noted that the Dustin Byfuglien situation -- as well as Bryan Little and Adam Lowry's respective recoveries from injury -- could force the Jets' hand.
LeBrun agreed that Dillon would make plenty of sense for Winnipeg, but didn't stop there.
"I don't think he would be on the top of their list, but certainly on the list of players that the Jets would have compiled already, I think Brenden Dillon would be on there somewhere," LeBrun said. "Pending UFA, he's a defenseman that's going to be dealt by the San Jose Sharks. He's a No. 4 for some teams, a No. 5 for others. I can tell you half-a-dozen teams so far have shown interest, including, I'm told, the Boston Bruins. Obviously a rugged, defensive defenseman in Brenden Dillon would be a nice fit there in Boston. Carolina Hurricanes, who just lost Dougie Hamilton, have also been among the teams that have shown interest."
"It will not be an issue moving Brenden Dillon," LeBrun summarized. "The question is what can San Jose get out of it? I think it's probably going to be a second-round pick, and maybe a prospect."

The Sharks are still holding out hope for a playoff push, but whether or not they are successful in that pursuit, Dillon might be of more value to them elsewhere.

Dillon will fetch the best return but without him we are in 100% rebuild and likely to field shit for at least 2-3 seasons.
