HTX STORM 14U TIER II
Team and League
We are thrilled to announce we have been accepted as a Member Organization with the National Girls Hockey League (NGHL).
Our 14U Tier 2 team will compete against other top programs across the country with increased emphasis on progression towards Tier 1, High School, and College pathways.
The HGHA has been working closely with our friends in Dallas, the Dallas Stars Elite (DSE), and the Texas Amateur Hockey Association (TAHA) to grow the girls' hockey community here in Texas.
---
Beginning with the 2023-2024 season, our 14U Tier 2 program now gives a local option for those who aren't yet ready for Tier I (AAA) opportunities in Dallas and DSE, providing a pathway for them to continue to develop their game here close to home.
---
Mike Salekin, Hockey Director of the Dallas Stars Elite Girls and TAHA Women's Section President, commented: "What a great day for Texas girls' hockey. The Storm have done such a great job growing the girls' game, and we are excited for them to take this next step."
