WELCOME TO THE TEXAS STATE HOME OF HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY
High School Hockey in Texas has become Nationally recognized for its success. Over the past 6 seasons, teams from Texas have won THREE National Championships, Division II Frisco-2017 and Team Texas Girls in 2019 and 2022. 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.

2023 Texas State High School Championships
The Texas Amateur Hockey Association crowned four State Champions on Sunday January 29. The D1 and D2 Championship games were held at Children's Health Center Valley Ranch and the 2A and 2B State Championships were played at the Children's Health StarCenter in Mansfield.
Division 1
The Jesuit College Prep Rangers of Dallas defended their state title from 2022 with a hard fought 3-2 victory over the Strake Jesuit Crusaders of Houston. Trying to avenge an 11-1 loss to Dallas Jesuit in the round-robin, Strake claimed a 2-0 lead early in the first period before the Rangers were able to score to get within one. The game remained close with the Rangers scoring the only goal of the second period to tie the game at 2-2 entering the third. Both teams traded scoring chances in the third and with 3:44 left the Crusaders were penalized for holding. With 2:41 left, the Rangers scored on a deflection and the goal held up to bring another State Title to Jesuit. Congratulations to the Jesuit Rangers.

Division 2
Keller defeated the 2022 State Champ, Frisco West by a score of 5-3 to capture the Division 2 State Championship and earn a trip to Nationals. The game was close until Keller score 2 goals one minute apart early in the third period to take a 5-2 lead. Frisco climbed within 2 scoring with 7:17 left but could not get any closer. Congratulations Keller!

Division 2A
In the 2A Championship, 8th seeded Coppell upset 3rd seeded Northwest 6-4. Coppell raced out to a 4-1 lead in the 2nd period. Goals late in the second and early in the third by Northwest pulled them to within a goal but they could not get the equalizer. Two late empty net goals by Coppell sealed the win.

Division 2B
In a thrilling game Plano East defeated Memorial West from Houston 3-2 in Overtime. East jumped ahead 2-0 after two periods. In the third period Memorial roared back to tie the score sending the game to overtime. During the extra period both teams had good looks, but Plano East was finally able to end the game a little over 6 minutes into OT. Congratulations Plano East.
