Future Chaparral Ice Plans We are committed to supporting Texas Jr. Stars Number of facility improvements are under review Working to further align with the big club Currently investigating HD cameras during home games (Live Barn) Commitment to increase available ice time Participation as an asset in TJS/TRS booster club
The Program Program goal is to be able to field AA teams. The preliminary projections are based on the 2015-16 season enrollments. Our primary goal is making sure we field 1 high level team at each age group - Squirt, Pee Wee, Bantam, and Midget Minor. If the numbers and skill of the players registered for tryouts warrant additional teams, we will seriously consider adding more if it makes sense to the program. Texas Rising Stars (Rec), Development teams, High School league and Texas Jr. Stars practice players are all potential options for players that do not get selected for a Texas Jr. Stars team.
Expectations as a member of the Texas Jr. Stars Players, Parents, Coaches, Association Have fun and enjoy the life long memories that are being created.
