The
Texas
Tornado
teamed
with
Hooter’s
of
Frisco
to
raise
money
for
Cystic
Fibrosis.
Three
of
our
own
Tornado
players
Axel
Boyer,
Jake
Stafford,
and
Sean
Hedrick
along
with
a
few
“Hooter’s
Girls”
took
turns
in
the
dunk
tank
to
raise
money
for
Charity.
Participants
paid
for
the
opportunity
to
throw
balls
at a
target
and
hopefully
dunk
a
young
vixen
or a
burly
hockey
player
into
water
below.
Even
a
few
of
the
Tornado
Coaches
and
staff
got
in
on
the
fun
and
tried
to
dunk
the
players.
The
Tornado
had
a
few
door
prizes
inside
that
were
given
away
and
a
great
time
was
had
by
all.

How does San Jacinto, not particularly a breeding ground for professional athletes anyway and definitely not a hockey hotbed, put a guy on the threshold of a National Hockey League career?
Jake Newton, now an Anaheim Duck, smiled at the query. "A lot of people in my life have had to sacrifice quite a bit," he said.

I came away from tonight's Town Hall Meeting which introduced the new ownership group I can't say I have ever been more excited with the direction our team is heading. There will be much more information coming from the Tornado and other sources but suffice to say the Tornado are in good hands and under sound management equipped and dedicated to returning the Tornado Hockey Club to its position as the premier team in the NAHL. This ownership group and their resources I believe are just what we need. webeditor |
NAHL approves sale of Tornado
May 21, 2010
The North American Hockey League (NAHL) has announced that its Board of Governors has approved the transfer of ownership of the Texas Tornado membership.
The new ownership group is led by Bill Yuill, president of Consolidated Sports Holdings USA, Inc.
A native and resident of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Yuill, who is also chairman and CEO of The Monarch Corporation, a privately-owned company with three operating divisions - communications, investments and sports franchises - has owned and operated successful baseball and hockey teams for over three decades.

Sully Off to Maine
The Texas Tornado is proud to announce that goaltender Dan Sullivan has committed to the University of Maine for the 2010-11 season. Sullivan played in 51 regular season games for the Tornado this past season, posting a 3.08 GAA, 1575 saves, and .912 save percentage. During five playoffs games for the Tornado Sullivan had a 1.65 GAA, 185 saves, and .949 save percentage. |

“Sully started at a high level this year and because of his work ethic and willingness to learn just better and better. Dan is going to an outstanding program at Maine and I have no doubt that he will be a big factor in their future success,” says Head Coach Tony Curtale. “I have coached several big time goaltenders in the past like Ben Bishop, Al Montoya, Dave McKee, Brandon Crawford-West, Ron Vogel, and Sullivan is right there with that group.”
Former Alumni Ben Bishop who attended Maine from 2006-08 and led the team to two Final Four appearance before leaving early to play for the St. Louis Blues and the Peoria Rivermen (AHL). Maine has appeared in 17 NCAA tournaments, 11 Frozen Fours, earned 5 Hockey East Championships, and 2 NCAA Championships.
The Booster Club wishes you all the best, Sully!

Booster
Club
Feed
the
Ice
Dogs
The
Booster
Club
fed
the
Ice
Dogs
their
pre-game
meal
Saturday.
Besides
being
a
very
good
hockey
team
they
are
a
pleasure
to
be
around.
Every
boy
thanked
the
Booster
Members
there
and
were
genuinely
appreciative.
This
is
the
second
time
members
have
fed
Fairbanks.
A
few
years
ago
when
we
learned
the
Ice
Dogs
were
going
to
be
in
town
over
Thanksgiving
members
jumped
in
and
prepared
a
real
thanksgiving
feast
with
all
the
trimmings
just
like
home.

from

parent: |

I
just
wanted
to
thank
all
of
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
take
care
of
these
boys.
You
do
not
know
how
much
it
means
to
me
that
my
son
is
cared
for
so
much
by
so
many
people.
There
aren't
enough
words
for
me
to
say
again....
thank
you,
