Welcome to the Official U16 Girls Homepage!

Ds_logo_small_small

 

The core group of girl's currently in the Dallas Stars program started with the Dallas Ice Jets in 2005.  Under the leadership of first year coach Stan Tugolukov they captured the Rocky Mountain District 12U Championship and went on to finish in the Elite 8 at the 2005 USA National Championship in Denver, Colorado.  The team continued to exhibit success year after year.  In 2008, playing as the Texas Attack, these girls won the Buckeye Ice Breaker and Connecticut Polar Bear Tournaments and finished second in the Rocky Mountain District playoffs. 

Today, we are affiliated with the Dallas Stars AAA organization which is committed to training and developing AAA hockey players in North Texas.  

The Dallas Stars girls program has two goals:

1.  Provide elite training locally without the expense of living outside of the state

2.  Get the word out about our program to colleges!

About Coach Stan:
Stan Tugolukov has fully dedicated his life to hockey: playing it, teaching it, developing techniques for teams and individuals of all levels, ages and even physical abilities. Stan was born in 1970 in Chelyabinsk, Russia. He started playing sports at the very early age and quickly became a leading player of his school hockey team TRAKTOR-70. Stan was advancing as an athlete so rapidly that by the age 15 he was selected to play with the pro-team METALLURG, Chelyabinsk.

Stan’s hockey career during the 1980s was streamlining. In 1985 he played as a member of National Soviet Junior Hockey team for international tournament in Finland where he was recognized as MVP of the tournament. At the age of 17 Stan Tugolukov became a star of the Soviet National Junior Hockey playing for the Soviet National Team next to such renowned Russian hockey stars as Pavel Bure, Sergey Zubov, Alexei Zhamnov, Igor Korolev, Alexander Karpovtzev, Andrei Kovalenko and Viacheslav Buzaev.

During 1980s and 1990s Stan played as a member of the leading Soviet and Russian Hockey teams including “Traktor”, Chelyabinsk and “Mechel”, Chelyabinsk. Stan’s glorious collection contains honorary cups, medals and other awards from numerous national and international hockey competitions and tournaments.

In 1997 Stan Tugolukov earned his Bachelor Degree in Physical Education and Hockey Training from Ural National Sports Academy. In 1998 Stan acquired honorary title of the Sports Master of Russia. Stanislav’s hockey career, however, was jeopardized due to severe sports injury and rehabilitation. This unfortunate event became a turning point in Stan’s professional interests. It also changed his general outlook on life. He became a professional hockey coach.

The concept of coaching was not new to Stanislav even years earlier. He was a hockey instructor in high schools and fitness clubs since 1987. However, the sudden cut from playing and painful rehabilitation process encouraged Stanislav to mature and fill the void in his passion for hockey by making a difference in hockey education. The mission of raising professional athletes as well as youth with various disabilities has become the central purpose of Stanislav’s life. His excellent training background and supreme dedication to his students resulted in remarkable success of Stanislav Tugolukov’s coaching enterprise. Stanislav was awarded honorary diploma for “Significant contribution to the Russian National Youth Hockey”. In two consecutive years (1999 and 2000) he was awarded honorary diplomas of Russian National Hockey Club “Golden Puck” named after the legendary hockey coach Anatoly Tarasov.

Coach Stan has successfully lead his teams to the regional and national championships. His Colleyville Heritage Varsity Team has been awarded with the best record in the league title in two consecutive years (SBC League, TX).

In 2005 Fort Worth Star Telegram has named Stan the Coach of the Year.

Today, Stanislav Tugolukov is a highly respected member of ice hockey community worldwide. He currently advances his education at University of Texas at Arlington and conducts master training sessions for numerous highly reputable youth hockey clubs of the United States, Canada and Russia.

Mind Vitamins from Kim McCullough

Will you be GOOD or GREAT?

09/15/08

What does it take to be great

Many players and teams talk about it, but very few actually do it.

The "great ones" do every day what the "good ones" do occasionally.

A great player works on her mental game...
A good player thinks it's "weird".

A great team does a warm-up before every ice session...
A good team does a warm-up when they feel like it.

A great player stretches after every ice session...
A good player stretches only when she is sore.

A great team trains off the ice throughout the whole season...
A good team trains off the ice in the off-season - if at all.

A great player goes out of her way to eat properly each and every day...
A good player eats whatever is available.

The great ones do whatever it takes on a daily basis...
The good ones do it when it's convenient.

I am not talking about just having a good season.

I'm talking about having your best season ever.

I'm talking about being great.

There are lots of good players and teams out there,
but very few are great.

The difference between the good ones and the great ones is
what they do on a daily basis, away from the crowds and away from the rink.

I know that mental preparation, warming-up, on-ice conditioning, off-ice training, stretching and eating right
are not nearly as exciting as playing in the big game.

But it's your attention to detail on all of these "little" things that will make the biggest difference in your season.

If you are ready to have your best hockey season ever, then this is for you.

Strong Females: Strength Training and Female Hockey

There is so much conflicting information out there about strength training for young athletes. You don’t know whether it is even appropriate for your daughter to strength train, never mind what types of exercises she should be doing. You want to make sure that your daughter doesn’t miss out on any opportunity to reach her full potential, but you definitely don’t want to risk her getting injured while training in the off-season.

Let’s set the record straight on the most common myths about strength training for young female hockey players.

Myth #1: With no body checking, strength training isn’t necessary.
Anyone who has ever seen a girl’s hockey game knows that ‘no body checking’ does not mean ‘no body contact’. Sure, female players don’t need to worry about being able to take a big hit, but they’ve got to be able to win battles in front of the net and win races to the puck. And the easiest way to do this is by building their overall strength.

Myth #2: Strength training at a young age will lead to injury.
You are worried that your daughter will get injured while strength training - and you are not alone. Most parents avoid getting their daughters involved in a strength training program because of safety concerns. In my 10 years of using the exercises in Total Hockey Strength with my young players, not a single athlete has been injured.

Young athletes tend to get injured when they are trying to lift too much weight or have bad lifting technique. But Total Hockey Strength doesn’t require players to lift anything other than their own body-weight! Your daughter won’t step into a gym or touch any training equipment - and she’ll get stronger than she’s ever been.

Myth #3: Strength training will make my daughter ‘muscle bound’.
It is physically IMPOSSIBLE for your daughter to become ‘muscle-bound’ using this body-weight strength training program. Even the most elite female hockey players in the world do not build big muscles (and still look feminine) and they are using the most advanced weight training techniques around! I can guarantee that the exercises in Total Hockey Strength will not cause your daughter to develop big muscles, but they will make her a stronger, faster and better player.

Myth #4: Male players strength train. Female players don’t.
This is the one that bothers me the most. And this is why:
Society leads us to believe that females should not become strong and powerful.
Take a second and imagine one of those ‘ideal’ women from the beauty magazine trying to win a battle for the puck along the boards (pretty funny isn’t it?).
