Congratulations to the Hitmen PeeWee AA team for winning the State Championship held in Dallas, Texas. The Hitmen PeeWee AA team traveled to Dallas representing Houston from their local division. They were met by fierce competition in Dallas from the three top teams, The Dallas Ice Jets, the Alliance Bulldogs and the Dallas Stars Selects, representing their respective divisions. At the end of the elimination rounds, several teams were tied which resulted in a 4-way shootout to determine which 2 teams would advance to the Championship round. Again, the Hitmen rose to the challenge and won the shootout which sent them to the finals against the Dallas Ice Jets. In a well played game the teams battled to a 4-4 tie at the end of regulation play. In a relentless Hitmen attack, the final goal was scored in a nail-biting sudden death overtime, resulting in the Hitmen 5-4 win naming the Houston Hitmen PeeWee AA team Texas State Champions! The Hitmen PeeWee AA team will now represent the state of Texas in the Regional Competition in Denver, Colorado on the weekend of March 9 -12.
