The McKinney North Stars Hockey Club is a non-profit corporation operating  nine travel hockey teams known as the McKinney North Stars. 

The club has 18u, 16u, 14u, 12u, and 10u AA and A hockey teams that compete in the Dallas Stars Travel Hockey League, as well as in local and out-of-town tournaments.

The McKinney North Stars practice and play home games out of the McKinney Children's Health StarCenter.

We would like to officially welcome, Coach Travis Clayton, as the new 18u AA Head Coach.

Coach Clayton was most recently the Head Coach of the Sherwood Park U18AAA Ennis Kings and was with the organization since 2019 as the U15AAA Head Coach, Athletic Associate Technical Director & also the Concordia Thunder College ACAC Asst Coach.

Coach Clayton has an extensive resume as a Coach and Player:

• Lloydminster Minor Hockey-Head Coach (September 2013-2019) Coached 5 players to NCAA D-1 Scholarships.
• U18AAA Bandit Pipeline Midget Bobcats Head Coach (2015-2016) 1st place in Regular season, League Champions, Pacific Cup Champions.

• Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League- North Battleford North Stars 1992-1997 Player, Championship Teams '94-95 & '96-'97

What a great season for Rookie North Stars Head Coach Terry Ruskowski.  We jokingly say "rookie" in his first season with the club, but the players on the 18u AA quickly learned from this Hockey Veteran Coach and Player.

A overall ranking of  6th in the Nation 18u Tier 2, 39 wins & 9 loses for the season is quite a feat & the job is not done yet.   The 18u AA season continues as they prepare for a trip to Wisconsin and a shot at a National Title.

Please cheer on our North Stars!
