Nine years ago, I had the idea to start this site, but I needed a name. I threw around some names with a Canadian buddy at work, and he had the wonderful idea to play off the irony of ice hockey in city that regularly tops 100 degrees in the summer.

And so 100 Degree Hockey was born.

The Texas Stars have had the good fortune to play in the Calder Cup Finals three times in their history, the most times of any team in the 2010s. However, the average first day of 100 degree temperatures as measured at Austin Bergstrom isn't until July 11th.
