Victoria, a then 13 year old with a passion for hockey and a desire to make the sport more accessible and affordable to children in the Houston area. Victoria saw a need for more opportunities for kids to play hockey and worked to create the Houston Youth Hockey Group to address this need. Today, the organization is dedicated to providing access to equipment, coaching resources, and training materials to help grow the game of youth hockey in Houston and ensure that all children have the opportunity to participate. Victoria's vision and dedication have helped to create new opportunities for children in the community and contribute to the overall growth of hockey in the region. The HTX Storm is the only all-girls hockey association in Houston. They offer programs for girls and young women from 8U to 19U, drawing from all of the city's ice rinks. They provide supplemental programs for young skaters in addition to house hockey and dedicated programs for older girls who want to continue playing the sport. The HTX Storm girls hockey association has not only drawn national attention, but also state-wide attention for its efforts to promote and grow the sport for girls in the Houston area. The organization has partnered with many other organizations across the state to further its mission and create new opportunities for young women to participate in hockey. These partnerships have helped to expand the reach and impact of the HTX Storm, allowing it to reach more girls and young women and provide them with the resources and support they need to succeed in the sport. The Houston Youth Hockey Group and HTX Storm are also aided in their efforts to grow the game of hockey in the Houston area by four other organizations: the Interscholastic Hockey League, as well as three other organizations. These organizations provide additional resources, support, and expertise to help the Houston Youth Hockey Group and HTX Storm achieve their goals and create new opportunities for children and young people to participate in hockey. Together, these organizations are working to create a vibrant and thriving hockey community in the Houston area, one that is accessible and welcoming to players of all ages and skill levels.
