Please consider volunteering! It really is a blast! Shifts are around 3 hours long. If you can help, you will be keeping an eye on the rinks, greeting people and making sure players, parents and fans enjoy their tournament experience. There are a limited amount of community service hours available to high school and college students. You will even receive a hoodie for helping us out!!!

New this year, all volunteers must complete USA Hockey Safe Sport training, so please volunteer early so that we can get you credentialed. If you are a coach or manger, you most likely have already completed this training.

2023 Spring League

Announcing New Registration

 

AYH SPRING 2023

3v3 CROSS-ICE HOCKEY LEAGUE

 

Amherst Youth Hockey is proud to announce the return of our Spring 3v3 Cross-Ice Hockey League. This league is ideal for players looking to further develop their skills, including shooting, passing, conditioning, and hockey intelligence.  The 3v3 cross-ice format will encourage players to play at a quicker pace and make real-time decisions while emphasizing Spring hockey fun. All games are non-checking, which encourages skill development and fast action shifts.

During the 8-week, all-Sunday season, each team will participate in 2 games per session, approximately 30 minutes per game, resulting in a 16-game season.  League games will be used to seed teams for the final playoff game.  Teams will consist of approximately 9 skaters and 1 goalie.  Registration also includes an AYH 3v3 League hockey jersey.

Our goal is simple: create a fun and competitive environment where players can develop their skills in fast-paced game scenarios.  This is an opportunity for players to get excited about scoring goals, creating opportunities, making game-altering saves, and teamwork.

Amherst Youth Hockey’s 3v3 Cross-Ice Hockey League season begins on Sunday, April 2nd, and runs through Sunday, June 11th. (No games on Easter Sunday, Mother’s Day, or Memorial Day Weekend.) Registrations are limited, enroll today!!

Register today at www.amherstyouthhockey.org and get a free AYH 3v3 League T-shirt! (While supplies last.)
