We look forward to seeing you next month. Stars Capture Rocky Mountain District Crown!
For the fourth time in just eight seasons, the Dallas Stars AAA Hockey Club will represent the Rocky Mountain District at next month's USA Hockey Tier I National Tournament in Buffalo, NY. The young Stars under first year head coach Adam Robbins battled all season long through a series of injuries and illnesses and seemed to peak during last month's Texas State Tournament in Dallas. Entering the District tournament this week as one of six challengers for the crown the Stars had to face some of the toughest competition the region had to offer. In Thursday's round robin game the Stars defeated the Colorado Rampage 6-4 avenging last year's loss in the District Finals. On Friday, the Stars fell to PF Changs (Arizona representative) by a 3-0 score. The Stars rebounded Saturday morning by defeating Utah representative Chadders by a 3-2 score advancing the club to the semi finals and setting up a rematch with PF Changs. In Saturday evening's semi final match up with PF Changs the Stars controlled the game and notched a 4-1 win placing them in the finals against Chadders. On Sunday the Stars carried a 4-2 lead into the 3rd period before giving up a late goal making the final score Stars 4-Chadders 3. The Stars will return to Dallas Sunday evening and will take a well deserved couple of days off before beginning preparation for next month's trip to Nationals.

The Dallas Stars AAA Hockey club tangled with the Alliance for only the second time last night with the Texas State Championship on the line and it was a game to remember for the Stars as they built an 8-0 lead mid-way in the second and finished with a 10-2 win over the Alliance. The win gave the Stars their fourth consecutive State title. The round robin schedule called for the two teams to play last night and then again Sunday in a one game championship but TAHA and the two teams decided to eliminate the Sunday game and make last nights game the official Championship contest. The Stars, who played well enough during the round robin, finally hit the gear that has been the signature of Stars AAA Hockey and poured in 10 goals before the night was done. Three players notched two goals in the game; Anthony Hamburg, Bryce Johnson and Armand de Swardt. After the game Head Coach Adam Robbins said, "we have such a talented team, it was just a matter of time before we broke out and it couldn't have happened at a better time." The Stars will have a couple of days off to enjoy this Championship and then will head for Madison on Wednesday to play in the Capitol's Gold Medal Classic.
