The Prep hockey team recently traveled to Dallas, Texas, for their last three games of the year, where they played in a tournament to win one last championship to end the season. It was a fun team-bonding weekend.
The Prep team rarely comes to Dallas, so spending the last weekend of hockey here was super special, according to Peter Amigh ’27, who is a Texas native. “Having the boys come to my hometown for our last weekend of the year is super special to me. It makes me happy to see the boys excited about being here and getting a little taste of my hometown.”

After a big win on Sunday in the semifinals, the prep team got to attend an NHL game, a very unique experience for an entire team to be at together. They got to watch the Dallas Stars play against the Chicago Blackhawks at the American Airlines Arena.
It was a fun atmosphere as the team got to see many superstars from both teams play in the game, including 2023 first-overall pick Connor Bedard. It was a back-and-forth game as both sides produced chances, but Chicago jumped out to an early lead, making it 2-0 after 10 minutes. Dallas proceeded to push back and make it 3-2 in the third period. Before the game, everyone was hoping for overtime to see the exciting 3-on-3, which Devin Smith ’26, a huge Colorado Avalanche fan, had seen two nights prior when the Stars hosted the Avs.
It was like a hockey god was listening to us; with a minute left, Connor Bedard walked the blue line and ripped a shot bar down to tie the game. Every player on the team was standing in disbelief after what they just saw and how sick the goal was. The game went to overtime, so everyone got their wish, but the OT did not last long, as Dallas scored the game-winning goal in only 22 seconds.
“The game was so much fun, and the atmosphere was great. We sat up on top of the arena, and the view was magnificent. Also, the size of the arena inside was massive,” Kevin Betsch ’26 said.
It was a great weekend for the Huskies, and it was a fun way to spend one last weekend on the road together. A lot of memories were made on this trip that will forever be special to us and last a lifetime.
