2010-2011 Dallas Stars Elites Information

The schedules are coming out in chunks as the schedule for the Dallas Stars Midget Major (U18) and Midget Minor (U16) are slowly starting to come out for the Tier 1 Elite League which is the best Youth Hockey League and System in the country.

For area players playing Juniors & the NCAA in recent years, this is where a majority of the talent is coming from so it's important to track this team to see how their doing and which players could have a shot of getting recognized by leagues like the United States Hockey League (USHL), the Western Hockey League (WHL) and the NCAA.

As for players who are looking to make USHL Rosters include Seth Johnson (Sioux City Musketeers), Christian Frey (Des Moines Buccaneers), Teemu Tiitnen (Youngstown Phantoms) and Tyler Hope (Tri-City Storm) and Jeff Mcminimy (Lincoln Stars) all played for the Dallas Stars Elites in recent seasons and will be looking to use this level as a chance to move up to the NCAA & Professional Ranks, possibly the NHL later in their careers.

This is where the best Youth Players look to play for in the Dallas Area and around the country hoping to get noticed by teams in the Junior Ranks and into the NCAA as well, so it shows you how important it is to make the Tier 1 Elite League to improve your chances.

Last year for the U18's finished the 48 game season at .500 with a 20-20-8 record which was good good for 3rd Place in the League's Mid American Division.

They looking to improve on that and especially the defense where it was a bit leaky at times by giving up 153 goals during the season. And by hoping that the defense improves in a division that has the Madison Capitals, Ohio Blue Jackets, Russell Stover and St. Louis Amateur Blues. This

The season gets underway on September 17 with a 4 game in 3 day weekend set with the teams in the Illinois Division against Team Illinois. They will also play the Chicago Fury, Cleveland Barons and the Chicago Youth Association during the weekend as well.

This was a division where Russell Stover edged out the St. Louis Amateur Blues for the Mid-Am Division title by a mere two points, but the rest of the division was well back where the Dallas Stars finished 3rd by a massive margin of 18 points over the Division Champions. This year thought that Dallas is expecting to see a much more competitive division like the top of the Illinois Division was last year.

As for the defending Champions, the Belle Tires Team out of Detroit are the defending Midget Major Champions with an impressive 36 wins that got them 77 points, edging out the CYA by 3 points.

In the Midget Minor League everyone will be gunning for the Chicago Missions who ran away with the Illinois Division and were an 8 points clear of the Detroit Division Champion Little Caesars.

The full schedule for the most part is not out yet because of how the league is set up. Most teams play at different events where you could have like 6 or 8 of the 25 teams for instance may play something like 3 or 4 games in a single weekend. As it stands right now, they are no plans for the Dallas Stars Elites to host any events yet (At least what we know).

As for the Midget Minor (U16) Team, they looking to put last year behind them with just 9 wins in 38 games last year in the Tier 1 League and had one of the worst offenses by scoring just 67 goals.

However, they did have a strong defense and goaltending which had Christian Frey who was selected by the Des Moines Buccaneers in the USHL Entry Draft back in May.

Things are looking like that he may return to get some more experience, or if he doesn't come back with the Dallas Stars Elites, he may go to a league like the NAHL or one of the Canadian Jr. A Leagues to prepare him for the USHL.

For the U16 Team to be successful, the offense will have to show big improvements on the offense with a lot of new players and put last year behind them. However, can they find the goaltending that they had last year like a Christian Frey type player that can keep opposing teams off the scoreboard.

As I told you earlier the full schedule has not been released yet as 20 of the scheduled 48 games have been official while 20 of the 38 scheduled games are official for the Midget Minor Team as the season is scheduled to start in Mid September.
