Stars Midget 16 Tier I Program Announced

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

California Stars 2010-2011 Midget 16AAA Team


The California Stars are pleased to announce continuation of our Tier I program and our plans to field a Midget 16AAA team for the 2010-2011 season.  Our objective is to roster a competitive Midget 16AAA team capable of winning a state title, advancing to the Pacific District championships and beyond.  Last year’s team was the CAHA runner-up and advanced to Districts; we will return a core group of 1994 and 1995 birth year players and look forward to another productive season.  This team will require a high level of commitment and strong work ethic from players.  Our goal is to provide them the necessary skills development, physical conditioning and national level exposure to advance to 18AAA, junior and collegiate hockey.


We have assembled an outstanding staff for the 2010-2011 season led by returning Head Coach Rob O’Rourke and Assistant Coach Alex Semenov.  We are also pleased to add veteran Tier coaches Chris Annunziato and Andy Newton to the roster as Assistants.  Our home ice facility, Ontario Center Ice Arena, is among the best in southern California and offers an ideal location for Tier I level players in the Inland Empire and throughout southern California.  The Stars organization is a proven winner; over the past five seasons our Tier teams have won five California state championships, three Pacific District titles and one National championship.


Try-Out Schedule and Format


We invite top Tier players to attend our try-outs and meet our staff and club officials.  Try-outs for the Stars 2010-2011 Midget 16AAA team will be held at Center Ice Arena located at 201 S. Plum Street, Ontario, CA 91761 on the following dates and times.  We will use a scrimmage format for all try-outs.  The cost is $25 per session or $60 for all three.  For additional information on the try-outs contact Team Manager Rob Freeman at 213 705-5251 or robertbfreeman@aol.com.


  • Friday, June 4, 2010 – 7:20 pm – 8:20 pm
  • Saturday, June 5, 2010 – 10:00 – 11:00 am
  • Monday, June 7, 2010 – 7:20 pm – 8:20 pm


Coaches and Support Staff

Our Midget 16AAA program is highly competitive.   We expect to attract top level ’94 and ’95 birth year players.  Our coaching staff has more than twenty years combined Tier level hockey experience with a national title, three Pacific District championships and numerous state banners to our record.  We are proud to announce the following line-up of coaches for the program.


Head Coach: Rob O’Rourke

Coach O’Rourke boasts a long and impressive resume as a youth hockey coach.  Rob has coached youth hockey since 1997 and served as head coach for the Jets, Senators, LA Hockey, Wave, and Stars organizations.  He coached the 2007-2008 Stars Bantam AA team that advanced to the CAHA Championship Series, the 2008-2009 Stars Midget 16AA team that advanced to the CAHA Playdown Weekend Series, and last year’s Stars 16AAA team that finished as CAHA runner-up and advanced to the Pacific District Championships.  He also served as Assistant Coach for the 2005-2006 National Champion Wave Bantam AAA team and the 2006-2007 Pacific District Champion LA Selects Midget 16AAA team.  Rob’s extensive experience with winning Tier programs and numerous contacts with junior and collegiate hockey programs will help our players succeed this season and advance to the next level.


Assistant Coach: Chris Annunziato

Coach Annunziato is co-owner of the Stars Hockey Club and has more than 15 years experience as a youth hockey coach with the Ontario/Riverside Jets, Ontario Senators, Los Angeles Jr. Kings, LA Hockey Club and the California Stars.  He served as Head Coach of the 2008-2009 Stars 16AAA team and the 2007-2008 16AA team.  He was Assistant Coach for the National Champion 2006-2007 Stars Bantam AA team and has won numerous SCAHA and CAHA championships from the Mite to the Midget Tier level.  His experience is matched only by his passion for the game and his proven record as a winner.  We are very excited to have Chris return to our Tier I program and look forward to his partnership with Coach O’Rourke.


Assistant Coach: Andy Newton

The Stars are pleased to have Coach Newton join our staff.  Andy has been a fixture on the local youth hockey scene for several years.  He established himself through the Newton Hockey program at Riverside Ice Town and as Head Coach of the Inland Valley Wild Bantam AA and Midget 16AA teams.  Last season Coach Newton headed the California Wave Midget 16AAA team.  We look forward to working with Andy at Ontario and to his contributions toward the 2010-2011 Stars 16AAA squad.


Assistant Coach: Alex Semenov

We are happy to have Coach Semenov return to our staff this year.  He played youth hockey in southern California, learning from his father, ex-NHL player and Stars/Center Ice owner Tony Semenov.  Alex went on to play junior hockey for the Springfield Junior Blues of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) and the Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League (USHL).   Alex then spent three seasons playing professional hockey in the Russian Elite League. He brings strong fundamentals and individual skills to the team and looks to continue to Semenov tradition of player education and development.


Team Trainer: Paul Nix

The Stars are pleased to announce that Paul Nix from Iron Works Gym in Claremont, CA will return as our physical conditioning coach for the 2010-2011 season.  Paul is an intense trainer who will provide our players with a comprehensive and demanding physical training and nutritional program.


Team Manager: Rob Freeman

With more than a decade of experience managing teams from Mite B to Midget 18AAA, Rob is known for his organizational and communications skills.  Parents and players will always know where the team is going, what it’s going to cost and how we’re going to get there.  He has served with the Sun Devils, Coyotes, Senators and Stars organizations and is currently club president for the California Stars.  Rob served as Team Manager for the Stars 2007-2008 18AAA team under Head Coach Tony Semenov with a core group of players that had been together for four seasons, and as Team Manager for the 2009-2010 Stars 16AAA squad.


Program Cost

Annual dues are $5200 (8 payments of $650), which covers practices, home games, away games, coaches salaries, off-ice conditioning and registration for three travel tournaments.  In order to assist with the total program cost, the Stars have an aggressive, proactive fund raising effort underway to offset the cost of out-of-state travel expenses.


Regular Season On and Off-Ice Practices

We will have on-ice practices three times a week and off-ice conditioning sessions two times a week. Specific days and hours are being set and will be announced shortly. This schedule will not apply to holiday weeks and is subject to adjustment due to tournament travel dates.

Schedule of Games

We anticipate playing approximately 50 games this season with 12 home games, 12 local away games, five major elite 16AAA tournaments, one 18AA tournament (Hat Trick Classic – Ontario) and additional Pacific District road games.  We expect CAHA to continue its rule change to require Tier I teams to play each other a minimum of three times during the season. The season will run from August 2009 through February 2010 depending on playoffs.
