Texas Hockey Date



For those unaware Cedar Park, Texas is the home to the Texas Stars. You have probably heard of the Dallas Stars NHL team - the Texas Stars are there minor league team. Being from Texas my closest exposure to hockey was the Austin Ice Bats. The Ice Bats resembled more of Ice Boxing than hockey with melting ice, fights, and obnoxious fans. 

The Texas Stars were a pleasant surprise. They play at the Cedar Park Event Center - a state of the art building. The players are mostly NHL quality players with quite a few having been placed on the Texas Stars following injury or are prospects still awaiting a chance to be promoted to the Dallas Stars. 

There are constant promotions going on their website http://www.texasstarshockey.com/. We went on bring in an HEB canned food product and get half off ticket price.  Most concessions are your typical peanuts, hot dogs, and beer options, but there is also a full bar in the front corner of the event center that serves any mixed drink. 

This was the first hockey match Jen had ever been to and had a great time. 

Ticket Price: Lots of promotions - anyware from $5-$50
Food Price: $10-$20 for hotdog and beer
Additional Charges: Parking $10
