WELCOME TO THE TEXAS STATE HOME OF HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY
High School Hockey in Texas has become Nationally recognized for its success. The past 3 seasons teams from Texas have won TWO National Championships, Frisco-2017 and Team Texas Girls in 2019. Texas teams have also captured TWO Bronze Medals, Plano West in 2018 and Frisco in 2019. Hockey is growing at all levels and that growth has begun to reach the high school ranks. A steady increase in High School Hockey participation is anticipated over the next few seasons and TAHA will be ready to serve the new influx of players. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time.
