The DYHA Dragons rank as a premier hockey program that develops team and individual excellence by promoting the realization of dreams and talents in youth athletes through the sport of hockey. DYHA provides elite-level coaching, support, and opportunities to achieve this mission. Most players enter the program with a dream of playing travel hockey, high school, college, or even beyond. DYHA strives to position each player on a unique path to their dream by setting clear, attainable goals allowing the player to realize their successes.
As a non-profit organization, the DYHA Dragons offer quality youth hockey players a place to advance their skills in Dallas/Ft. Worth and surrounding areas. Our teams play in the prestigious North Texas Hockey League (NTXHL) against other teams from across Texas as well as teams from Louisiana and Oklahoma. As a member of USA Hockey our teams also compete in many tournaments throughout the United States and Canada.
The DYHA Dragons athletes receive the highest quality instruction in the sport of hockey. Our elite coaching focuses on proper power skating, stick-handling and shooting. Our teams are instructed on proper fore checking and defensive systems, while at the same time they will also learn about the discipline required playing the game safely and within the rules. They learn respect for teammates, opponents, officials and the game itself. Our teams will be known for their skill and competitiveness, and for holding the highest standards of conduct both on and off of the ice. In short, it is the hope of the DYHA that, win or lose, our players come to possess the attributes of champions.

The DYHA Dragons drive players to fulfill potential by taking chances and creating opportunities. The organization takes pride in its rank as a premier hockey program; however, the focus is not winning, but becoming a winner. Possessing the attributes of a winner may not be marked the number of goals, but by the shots taken. DYHA believes that true winners in the sport of hockey truly love the game. These players are dedicated, courageous, and disciplined leaders who exhibit integrity and sportsmanship for their team as well as themselves. The physical skill, teamwork, speed of the game, and sometimes unruly passions involved in the sport of ice hockey, can encourage these attributes and values more effectively than any other sport.
At DYHA, we hope many valuable lessons and lasting memories from time in our program will remain with our athletes long after their hockey careers have ended. The ultimate success of the DYHA Dragons organization lies with impact on the development of young athletes and reputable characters through meaningful opportunities and experiences in a safe, sportsmanlike environment.
