The League has announced its 2020 AT&T Metroplex High School Hockey League Annual Award winners.  CHSHA is pleased to announce that Varsity player Trevor Moore has been named Offensive Player of the Year for the Varsity Silver 1 Division.  The award honors the player who not only was a leader in offensive statistical categories, but also was a team leader on and off the ice.

Trevor certainly filled that bill for the Varsity team this year.  He dominated the league in all of the offensive categories--leading the league with 27 goals scored, 17 assists, 38 points, a 2.4 points per game average, 4 power play goals, 5 short-handed goals and 7 game winning goals.  He scored a hat trick in one period against the Prosper Eagles.  Trevor is a leader on and off the ice--serving as an Assistant Captain on the Varsity team, playing travel hockey with the Texas Warriors, volunteering through the Coppell Young Men’s Service League and working with special needs kids at Coppell High School.  We are incredibly proud of Trevor and congratulate him for his hard work being recognized by the League. Well done Trevor!

Coppell Hockey would like to congratulate our Varsity All-Academic Award winners recognized by the League.  The League presented academic awards to the top juniors and seniors. The recognized players were not only some of the top players on the ice but also in the classroom.  The League considered, among other things, the player’s GPA, AP and Dual Credit courses taken, extracurricular activities as well as community involvement.  We had three Varsity players named to the All-Academic High Honors Team—Benjamin Apperson, Kaamil Jiwani and Vineet Madur.  In addition, Clark Parlier and Austin Thurman were named to the All-Academic Honors Team.  Congratulations to Benjamin, Kaamil, Vineet, Clark and Austin for working hard both on the ice and in the classroom.  Well done!

JV Cowboys are JV Silver City Runner-ups. Lost 2-4 to Prosper—2 goals by Hamza Hussain (first goal assisted by Collin Untersee and second goal assisted by Robert Hilliard and Caiden Norris. Sam Norris stopped 19/23 shots. They overcame a 1-7 start to the season to be the sixth team into the playoffs, knocked off the #3 and then the #1 teams to make it to the finals. Proud doesn’t bring to describe how we feel about these boys and their coaches.  #CowboyFightNeverDies.

Congratulations to the Varsity Coppell Cowboys—Varsity Silver City Champions. Coppell is the only team in the league to win both the City Championships and the State Championships—a pretty impressive feat. The Cowboys defeated Plano West by a score of 5-2.  Two goals from Trevor Moore (assisted by Brendan Hill and Austin Thurman and Brendan Hill and Clark Parlier), and goals by Brendan Hill (unassisted), Michael Clark (assisted by Hamza Mohideen) and and empty netter by Austin Thurman. Kyle Reeves stopped 20 of 22 shots. Congrats to Chris Shakesby and D.j. Graham. #CowboyFightNeverDies.

Congratulations to the Varsity team on their 7-3 championship victory over Denton County. They are TAHA High School State Tournament 2A Division Champions. Three goals by Zach “Cakes” Richmond (assisted by Erik Masengill and Benjamin Apperson, Marlee Sprott and Michael Clark). Two goals from Trevor Moore (with assists from Brendan Hill and Clark Parlier and then by Camden Restivo and Brendan Hill).

The Dallas Stars retired the jersey of Jere Lehtinen on Friday, November 24th when they hosted the Calgary Flames.  Jere’s number 26 was the fifth jersey to be retired by the franchise and the third retired since the team moved to Texas. Lehtinen played his entire fourteen year career with the Stars and was one of the game’s great two-way forwards. He was a three-time Selke Trophy winner, a four-time Olympic medalist and a Stanley Cup Champion.  

While Lehtinen helped introduce the city of Dallas to the game of hockey, he also had a profound impact on youth hockey in Coppell and the DFW area.  Jere and his family lived in Coppell during his playing days. His son was learning to skate and play hockey at the time, and Jere often volunteered as an assistant coach for mini mite, mite and squirt teams at the Dr. Pepper Stars Center in Farmers Branch and Valley Ranch. Lehtinen, never one to seek the spotlight, quietly helped teach the kids the fundamentals and to love to play the game of hockey. Many of the boys took to wearing Jere’s signature yellow skate laces during their practices and games. 

Lehtinen’s impact on youth hockey continues to this day with former mini mite, mite and squirt hockey players scattered throughout various Tier 1 and Tier 2 travel, house league and high school teams in the area, including Coppell High School Hockey players Trevor Moore, Vineet Madur, Erik Masengill, Austin Thurman, Sam Norris, Donovan Burdette, Jacob Smith, and Gibson Duhe.  Congratulations to Jere on the retirement of your number 26 with the Dallas Stars, and thanks for all you did to encourage and support the development of youth hockey in Coppell and DFW.
