About

Welcome to Brahma Land!

The NYTEX Sports Centre, Home of the Brahmas, is located in North Richland Hills, TX. North Richland Hills is a beautiful suburb that sits in northeast Tarrant County within the “Mid-Cities” between Fort Worth and Dallas, situated mere minutes from DFW International Airport and Love Field.

NYTEX is a 2,500 seat multi-purpose arena with nine suites and party deck. The 140,000 square foot facility also includes a second ice rink that converts into an indoor turf arena during the summer. NYTEX also contains a 30,000 foot multi-purpose Olympic Hall for volleyball, gymnastics, wrestling, conferences/expos and other events.

Formerly the Blue Line Ice Complex, NYTEX was the original home of the Texas Tornado (NAHL). In the Spring of 2007, several years after the Tornado had moved to Frisco, the building came under new ownership and was restored to its current state and dubbed "Brahma Land." It soon became the home of the Fort Worth Brahmas (CHL), the Texas Brahmas Youth Hockey Association (TBYHA), and youth and adult house/recreation leagues, giving a home to ice hockey players of all ages and levels of play. After the professional team ceased operation in 2013, it was decided that the NYTEX Sports Centre's focus should return to its roots of developing the next generation of hockey players. In late fall of that year, the North American Hockey League approved the purchase of the Texas Tornado and the subsequent move to NYTEX, where they were rebranded as the Lone Star Brahmas.
