  • #20 Monopolies On Ice
    Dec 8 2025

    Beer League heads to the heart of Texas for a hard-hitting look at how the Dallas Stars’ growing control over nearly every rink in the Metroplex has reshaped youth hockey, high school programs, travel teams, coaching access, and even beer league nights.

    USA Today article architects Lisa Bry and Kat Pierce—two outspoken parents on the front lines—break down how a once-thriving grassroots scene turned into a centralized system where ice time is scarce, prices climb, independent coaches dwindle, and players and families fear speaking up.

    From rink politics to youth sports economics, this episode exposes the real impact of a hockey monopoly and what it means for other markets fighting vertical integration.
