About High School Hockey
Prosper Hockey: An Overview
The Prosper Ice Hockey Association is the sponsoring body for the Prosper High School Hockey Team. The team participates within the AT&T Metroplex High School Hockey League, competing with schools and districts form across the area. The Prosper Teams are a blended team with student athletes from all four feeder patterns. The team is considered a “club” team, however Varsity Letters are awarded for players that make the Varsity Team and play at least 7 games during the season.
Prosper Hockey Association generally fields two Varsity and three Junior Varsity teams, however as the district grows and we get more interested athletes we will adjust to provide the maximum number of student athletes opportunities to play hockey.

Seasons
The Summer Season is generally used to get new players exposed to High School Hockey and the level of competition. The season is comprised of 10 games and a couple of practices to kick off the season which runs generally April to beginning of August.
The Fall Regular Season starts with tryouts in July or early August, team formation and practices in August and then a league leveling tournament to make sure teams are grouped with equally talented/competitive teams. The season begins in September then runs to February with teams playing a 20-game season. Practices are generally 1-2 times a week. At the end of the season there are playoffs for teams that qualify to become City Champions.
In addition, for the Varsity team there is a State Wide High School Tournament that determines the Texas High School representative team to play in the USA Hockey National High School Championships.
