At Amherst Youth Hockey, we take great pride in selecting, appointing and/or approving coaches, managers, instructors, and administrators who demonstrate strong leadership and a commitment to excellence. Our coaches are trained to teach the skills of skating and the game of hockey properly, and they work diligently to ensure discipline in all phases of participation, before, during, and after games. Our goal is to foster an environment of respect, sportsmanship, and camaraderie that allows each player to reach their full potential both on and off the ice. We believe that hockey is more than just a game, it's a community. Amherst Youth Hockey is committed to encouraging camaraderie among our players, coaches, and their families. We believe that building strong relationships and fostering a sense of belonging is essential to creating a positive experience for everyone involved. We organize team-building activities, social events, and other opportunities for our players and their families to connect and grow together.
