2016 Varsity Gold State Champions

2015 Varsity Gold State Champions

Hello McKinney hockey families. Our tradition is to recognize and honor our Alumni and our past achievements. We have been blessed with having enough players to roster multiple teams in the past and the future looks like we will continue to roster new and talented players each year. We are also blessed with having a top-notch Dallas Stars facility within our community, not all High School programs can say that. The MIHC Board is pleased to announce our annual Varsity Alumni Game which will be played at the McKinney rink on January 2nd at 8:00pm. There will be social media blasts promoting this game and we will continue to communicate so that we have a great event. Please show your support and come out to cheer on our past and current players. We have listed our Trophy Case achievements below which is very impressive to say the least:

Players who are going into 8-12 grades and believe they should be considered for a varsity team should participate in the Varsity tryout. If there are still open varsity spots after tryouts the varsity coaches may ask players to return to the second tryout for another look at those players. The second JV tryout is open to all 7-10th grade players not previously selected for a varsity team. It is very important that every player try to make the tryouts (although players who are out of town will be considered). Please contact me if you are out of town on this date.

Please arrive 45 minutes prior to the tryout the time to check in. Players should bring dark and light-colored jerseys, preferably with their last name on it. All players will also receive a number plate to pin on.

Contract commitments and uniform fittings will occur immediately following the tryouts for all players selected for a team. You must commit to a contract to lock in your player’s spot on the team. Please bring your player’s USA Hockey Number for the 2019-2020 season because that number will be required for contract signing. If your player has never played travel or high school hockey, please also bring a copy of the player’s birth certificate that we may submit to USA Hockey.

Our estimated fees for skaters this year are $2,150 for Varsity Gold and $1,850 for Varsity 2 or JV, if paid by cash or check (the cash/check discounted price). If paying by credit card, you will pay $50 more. The club fee pays for the practices for the teams, the league fee for all games, and coaches’ pay. For Varsity Gold, the fee also covers the State Tournament Fee. As with past years, goalies may play for free. Additional items that you may have to purchase: USA Hockey registration, player equipment (please remember that black or navy helmets and gloves are required for skaters and that they will not be allowed to play with other colors), and uniforms (although returning players may continue to wear their existing uniforms).

The uniform and spirit wear costs need to be paid up front. Plans are three payments - October 15, November 15, and December 15, and extend plan with six payments on the 15th of the month from September through February. We would certainly appreciate it if you can pay in full, but we want to make it is as easy as possible to afford to play high school hockey. If you plan to pay by check, we ask that you bring a sufficient number of checks for all required payments, i.e., if you want to pay via the plan with six payments, you need to bring six checks so that you can provide post-dated checks for each payment. 

Thank you, and we hope to see you in August at tryouts.
