Youth hockey in southwest Austin
Within a 20-minute drive for families in Bee Cave, Lakeway, Spicewood, and the Lake Travis corridor — instead of a 30–50 minute drive north for most travel and house hockey today.
The problem today
Travel and house hockey families in southwest Austin routinely drive 30–50 minutes north for practices and games because there is no permanent year-round ice west, south, or southwest of downtown. That commute shapes who can participate, how often teams practice, and whether younger players stay in the sport.
What we are planning
We are planning an age-graded program ladder (8U / 10U / 12U / 14U / 16U / 18U) with house and travel options and a Learn-to-Play onramp so new skaters can enter the pathway locally. Details on dates, fees, and tryout structures will follow as the facility and operating model are finalized — nothing on this page is a commitment of dates, prices, or roster rules.
Grounded in data and proven models
Outreach and planning draw on regional demographic context and feasibility analysis informed by NHL-affiliated municipal-rink precedent — without implying any specific operating partner, site, or timeline. Details evolve as feasibility work continues.
