Texas Stars sign Matthew Seminoff to two-year deal
Seminoff’s two-year, two-way deal follows a 50-point season in which he led Texas in goals and shots and pushed into Dallas’ NHL call-up picture.
The Texas Stars signed forward Matthew Seminoff to a two-year, two-way contract after a 50-point season that made the 22-year-old one of Cedar Park’s most valuable young scorers. Seminoff scored 24 goals and added 26 assists in 72 regular-season games for Texas in 2025-26, and his production now gives Dallas another right-wing option with NHL depth upside.
The contract matters because Seminoff did more than pad the box score. His 24 goals and 153 shots on goal led all Texas skaters, while his 50 points ranked second on the club. For a Dallas organization that has spent years feeding talent through Texas, that kind of jump turns a player from a developing prospect into someone who can force his way into the call-up conversation when the NHL roster needs help on the wing.
Seminoff’s rise also came after a difficult pro stretch that tested his path. He was reassigned to the ECHL’s Idaho Steelheads on Feb. 7, 2025, then returned to Texas on Feb. 18, 2025. Before the breakout season, he had 15 points in 70 AHL games in 2023-24 and nine points in 56 AHL games in 2024-25, making the 2025-26 surge a major step forward rather than a small adjustment.
Dallas has invested in Seminoff for a while. Jim Nill selected him 179th overall in the 2022 NHL Draft after Seminoff posted a career-high 57 points in 64 Western Hockey League games for the Kamloops Blazers in 2021-22, then followed that with 82 points in 62 games in 2022-23. He signed a three-year entry-level contract with Dallas on March 29, 2023, keeping him in the organization as he moved from junior production to the professional ranks.
Born Dec. 27, 2003, in Leesburg, Virginia, Seminoff spent his first five years there before moving to Coquitlam, British Columbia. Listed at 6-foot-0 and 189 pounds, the right-shot winger now enters his next contract with a clearer place in the pipeline, where his scoring touch and shot volume have already tightened the race for top-nine minutes in Texas.
