WELCOME TO THE TEXAS STATE HOME OF HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY
High School Hockey in Texas has become Nationally recognized for its success. The past 5 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.

2022 Texas State High School Championships
The Texas Amateur Hockey Association crowned four State Champions on Sunday January 23. 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.
D1 Champion-Jesuit Dallas
Jesuit College Prep raced out to a 3-0 lead in the first period and cruised to a 5-1 Victory over Strake Jesuit Houston in the Division 1 final. Strake battled hard the entire game but Jesuit was just two much to handle. TAHA received 2 bids to the National Tournament at the D1 level so both Dallas Jesuit and Strake Jesuit will be competing in the USAH National Tournament hosted by Dallas Stars Tournaments in March. Congratulations Dallas Jesuit!
D2 Champion Frisco West
In the Division 2 Finals, Frisco West nudged Frisco East 1-0. Frisco West scored with only 1:09 gone in the first period and made it stand up the rest of they way for a thrilling, hard fought victory. This was the first season the Frisco Varsity teams were required to split into East & West teams, and not many folks gave either team much of a chance to capture a State Championship let alone advance both teams to the championship game. Frisco East did not go down easily, outshooting West 40-30 in a battle of stellar goaltending. Frisco West will be the TAHA representative at the D2 USAH National Championships in March. Congratulations Frisco West!
2A Champion-Plano East
The Panthers defeated a tough Birdville squad, 6-3 in the 2A Division Final. East took a 3-1 after the first period and maintained their 2 goal lead at 4-2 after the 2nd. Two early 3rd period goals by the Panthers sealed the Championship. Congratulations Plano East!
2B Champion-Lovejoy
in a 3OT thriller, Lovejoy beat Plano West 5-4. Lovejoy took an early lead and lead 3-1 half-way through the 2nd period when Plano West mounted a comeback scoring 3 unanswered goals, the last with 2:20 left in the 3rd period to take a 4-3 lead. It only took Lovejoy 7 seconds to come down the ice and tie the game and force overtime. Both teams had quality looks in OT, including several shots off the posts and crossbar. Finally, in the 3rd OT, after 26:07 of extra time, Lovejoy banged home the winner. Congratulations Lovejoy!
Team Texas 2022
TEAM TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL SHOWCASE TEAM
Team Texas High School Showcase Team will compete in the 2022 America’s Showcase April 21 through 25, 2022 in St. Louis, Missouri. The purpose of this historic event will be the continuation of traditions established over the past thirty-three years. The Showcase is designed to allow high school hockey players from around the country the opportunity to compete against the best of the best during this five-day period with the prospect of being seen by every major hockey institution in North America.
Formerly called the Chicago Showcase and renamed to USA Hockey America’s High School Showcase will be conducted April 21-25, 2022 at St. Peter's RecPlex which is located 20 minutes from St. Louis International Airport. It will be hosted by the Mid States Hockey Club.
Twenty-four boys' teams from across the United States representing forty-three States will compete and showcase their talents to scouts from every major hockey institution in the country.
The purpose of this prestigious event remains the same. It is designed to allow high school hockey players from around the country, who do not traditionally get scouted due to geographic and budgetary constraints within the scouting circles, the opportunity to compete against the best of the best during a five-day period and be seen by every major hockey institution in North America.
During the year, high school coaches from Team Texas will be scouting players throughout Texas. Tryouts will be open to student-players who are currently playing high school hockey within Texas and are in their junior/senior year at their high school. There will be three (2) tryouts for everyone to determine the final America’s High School Showcase Team Texas. Tryouts will be held in early March 2022.
If you are a player, please remind your coach to be an active participant in this tryout process by contacting Coach Cosmo Clarke at Cosmo@clarke-athletics.com.
