The Travel Program

One pathway. Three stages.
Every tournament earned together.

Our Travel Program brings the strongest players from Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth together to compete at regional and national tournaments — with a transparent standard for how teams are set, what commitment means, and how players move up.

Tryouts for the 2026-27 Season.

Entry to Travel at U14, U16, and U19 is via annual tryouts. Teams are selected in August, and families then sign the season commitment — before teams are published. Come ready to play; we'll handle the rest.

how travel works

One philosophy, three stages.

U12

Travel is for everyone.

No tryouts — every player who wants to travel, travels. 7v7 hockey, two travel tournaments, and local bootcamps before every trip so everyone is prepared.

U14

Travel is earned — but the door stays open.

Tryouts in August set two teams — Orange and White. Orange commits to the full travel slate; White players choose their tournaments. In January, players can move.

U16 • U19

Travel is a commitment.

One season commitment, signed at tryouts, identical for Orange and White. Same tournaments, same calendar — the only thing that changes with a January move is the division you play in.

the festival principle

The National Hockey Festival — Thanksgiving weekend in Naples — is our premier college recruiting showcase. It's not on the U12 calendar. From U14 up, availability is declared at tryouts: required for Orange team consideration, optional for White team players. It becomes part of your calendar as you move toward the top of the pathway — by design.
