USA Hockey is in the midst of change.  Several local organizations have recognized this and have begun to modify their programs for the future.   Dallas Stars Elite Hockey Club (DSEHC) has been established.  It is a cooperative effort between the Dallas Stars Midget Major AAA, Dallas Stars Selects (DSS) and Dallas Junior Hockey Association (DJHA). The DSEHC will have its U18 and U16 teams participate in the Midwest Elite League (MWEHL) for the 2009-10 season.  The MWEHL is the top league in the Country in terms of competition and player exposure. We will also offer teams at the following age groups: U16 (tournament team), U14 (95), U13 (96), 97, 98, 99, and 00.  The Stars Elite Hockey Club will have the premier coaches and facilities in Texas.  The new club will be under the leadership of Dwight Mullins, Adam Robbins, Eric Silverman, and Marty MacInnis.

The Stars Elite Hockey Club will bring a new approach to Dallas hockey with the focus on player development and exposure.  It is also based on proven leadership and coaching at the National level.  Additional information on our coaches, fall program, and new innovative spring program will be available in the coming weeks.  The teams will be based out of the Valley Ranch and Farmers Branch Dr Pepper Stars Center facilities.

......"All of us associated with the Dallas Stars are excited about the prospects of the new Dallas Stars Elite Hockey Club.  We will work closely with USA Hockey and all the organizations who are undertaking this effort.  It is a giant step forward for amateur hockey in Dallas.  We believe our facilities and the coaching staffs that are part of this will offer the best hockey players in the region a terrific opportunity to advance themselves as players, and importantly as young men."
