In 1996, The Kansas City Amateur Hockey League Foundation formed the Kansas City Stars. Today we have 340+ players who participate in over 25 House and Travel Teams. We offer a complete range of play levels from Atoms, 4-6 year olds, to Midgets, 18 and under. Our house teams play in the City Wide League against other clubs in the Kansas City Metro Area and surrounding cities. Our travel teams play against other clubs in the Midwest and on a National Level. We also host several tournaments at all levels throughout the year.

The mission of the Kansas City Stars Youth Hockey Association is to provide the youth of the community with a quality environment which promotes sportsmanship, instruction, teamwork and the enjoyment of the ice hockey experience.

USA Hockey has published a set of core values. It is the goal of the Kansas City Stars to bestow these values to the youth of our organization through our coaches and staff.

CORE VALUES
We support and emphasize the core values of USA Hockey, Inc., the national governing body for the sport of hockey in the United States.

Foremost of all values is to learn a sense of fair play. Become humble in victory, gracious in defeat. We will foster friendship with teammates and opponents alike.

RESPECT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL

PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE AT THE INDIVIDUAL, TEAM AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEVELS

ENJOYMENT 
It is important for the hockey experience to be fun, satisfying and rewarding for all participants.

LOYALTY
We aspire to teach loyalty to the ideals and fellow members of the sport of hockey.
