The 2021-2022 season kicks off on September 11, 2021 @ 8:00 AM with 8U hitting the ice.

10U practice starts @ 9:15 AM, 12U @ 10:30 AM and 14U @ 11:45 AM.  Please arrive early to make sure the players are ready to get onto the ice when the Zamboni doors close.

If you are a new hockey parent or just need a refresher, check out the New Hockey Parents link at USA Hockey.

Reminder: ALL skaters must be registered with USA Hockey and NCCYHA to be allowed on the ice.

When getting equipment for the upcoming season we would prefer if you purchased navy blue for helmets and pants and navy blue or navy blue and white for gloves.  That being said, proper fitting equipment is much more important to the safety of the players than equipment color.

There is a Parents’ Guide to Buying Equipment on the USA hockey ADM website.

If you are buying equipment at Buffalo Sports, mention that you are with NCCYHA and you will receive a discount.

All players must wear neck guards and mouth guards.

Please have the players bring there own water bottles to practices and have them clearly marked.

We are still awaiting final guidelines from SUNY Fredonia but we anticipate the use of the locker rooms.  Your coaches will be in contact with any changes.

As of now, masks must be worn, regardless of vaccination status, in all indoor spaces on campus.  They do not have to be worn on the ice.

Any questions or concerns, please contact your coaches or a member of the board.

Looking forward to a fantastic 2021-2022 season!
