Frisco knows sports. And our community has just about everything you could want when it comes to sports.
But did you know that your high school age aspiring NHL players have a league to play in too? I didn’t!
Whether you’re planning to move to Frisco, are new to the community, or just didn’t know, the Frisco Ice Hockey Association combines players from across Frisco ISD High Schools to play against other high school teams from around DFW in the AT&T High School Metroplex Hockey League.
Within the league there are two teams at each level: Varsity Red and White, and Junior Varsity Red and White.
Big Congrats to the Frisco Varsity Red Summer Team for winning the championship over Plano West!
What a game!
The game was tied at the end of regulation and went down to the last minute. Plano West thought they had the game at the end of OT–but a call was made to Toronto, and the goal was waived off since time had run out! The shootout went 6 deep, and the pile on started!
Congrats to Varsity Red! Goals: Nehls (unassisted), Warhoftig (Nehls), Warhoftig (Romero), Samadian (Steele, Howell), Steele (Howell, Samadian), Samadian (unassisted) Shootout: Nehls, Palmer SOG 37 Tucker.
