In July of 2016, the Dallas Stars re-signed team captain, Jamie Benn, to an 8-year contract extension worth $76 million. This amount averages out to $9.5 million per year and will extend into the 2024-25 season. The 27-year-old left wing enjoyed a successful season in 2015-16 when he led the Stars to the playoffs and was second in the National Hockey League (NHL) with 89 points during regular season play.

Benn tied for second in the league with 17 power play goals, and his 41 goals put him in third place in the NHL. Both categories were career highs for Benn, and he managed to play in all of the 82 regular season games: the second year in a row that he accomplished this and the third time in his career. Considered a great two-way forward, he was a finalist for the both the Ted Lindsay Award and the Hart Memorial Trophy (player seen as most valuable to his team).

Qualities of the American Quarter Horse

An experienced business owner and head of Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction in Flower Mound, Texas, Randy Eastburg also enjoys attending horse races. Randy Eastburg and his wife previously bred and owned quarter horses.

A powerful breed, the American quarter horse has a muscular body, shoulders, and hindquarters. It stands 14 to 16 hands high on strong legs and may be compact and stocky or long and lean, depending on its natural body type. Both body types feature the breed's characteristic chiseled head, wide forehead, and smooth profile.

The breed gets its name from its ability to excel at the quarter mile track. It can achieve speeds of up to 55 miles per hour in short distances and has proven adept at cattle herding, as well. For this reason, it has become a popular horse for calf roping, barrel racing, and other rodeo-style sports.

Docile of temperament, the quarter horse is similarly in demand for purposes as varied as trail riding and police work. Its agile physique also makes it ideal for dressage, jumping, and other Olympic events.
