Dallas Stars goalie Marty Turco knows about commitment. In January of this year, he signed a four-year extension with Dallas instead of becoming a free agent.

Thank God all he asks is that I read more. He'll be speaking about literacy (as part of the Dallas Stars Foundation’s Supercuts Stick With Reading Program) at 5 p.m. this Tuesday at Barnes & Noble, 616 Preston Royal Shopping Center.
