After many trials and tribulations, many sleepless nights and the support of many friends and family, two brothers with a passion for Hockey and a vision realized a lifelong dream in March of 2007 and 'The NYTEX Sports Centre' was born.  Frank Trazzera, an eighteen year resident of the great state of Texas and his brother Dr. Salvatore Trazzera, a New York based Cardiologist first attempted to acquire the former 'Blue Line Ice Facility' in 2004 upon its foreclosure by Frost Bank of Texas.  History will show that their initial attempts were fruitless but that did not shake the spirit of two determined and unrelenting brothers with a great vision.  Not to be deterred the Trazzera brothers watched as the facility was vandalized, lay dormant and became in disrepair, an eye sore to the North Richland Hills Community, never giving up on their dream.  Investment groups came and went over the next three years.  Frost Bank was unable to complete a deal.  That is of course until the Trazzera Brothers and Developer Jim Makens merged their collective talents.  They could see this venue as the focal point of sports entertainment in 'Home Town' located in North Richland Hills, Texas.
    Many people have dreams.  Many have vision.  But few can execute that vision.  This is where their collective passion and desire was put into action and a whole community benefited.
