Houston Wild 2012-13 Team Descriptions
** With our GOAL of building the top AA and A teams possible to compete in the DALLAS STARS TRAVEL HOCKEY LEAGUE (DSTHL) at each USAH age division while continuing to focus on player development at all levels, not only for the upcoming season but for subsequent seasons, each Wild AA and Wild Minor team will be comprised of those USAH age level players, regardless of birth year, that meet the criteria of being the most competitive and skilled players available for that team.
The mix of major/minor birth years will, therefore, vary from one team to another for each level; there shall be no predetermined birth year ratios at any level.

Organizational Team News
It was an unlikely cradle for a hockey prodigy.
A sun-baked expanse of concrete, equipped with a makeshift set of boards—the haven of a passionate cadre of in-line skaters who in the mid-1990s had adapted the game of Wayne Gretzky to the climate of southern California. From the moment three-year-old Emerson Etem wobbled onto the roller-hockey surface at the Los Altos YMCA, it was clear he’d found his métier. “He just had this ability on wheels,” recalls his mother Patricia, a former Olympic rower. “It was a lot of fun to watch.
