Texas Rising Stars

The Texas Rising Stars are the AMHA's house (recreational) league that focuses on player development at the 6U through 14U ages. There is also an option to participate on tournament teams. Players sign up for their designated age group and add the tournament option if wanted. They attend a two week training camp September 9th-22nd where their skills are evaluated and then they are broken into teams. The teams practice 1 x per week, have 1 dryland/hockey IQ session per week and have 1 game per week against teams at their level. The 6U age group are not broken onto teams, but rather play games against same skilled players for their game options. The Season runs September 9th through March 8th.
