Rochester Youth Hockey, affiliated with USA Hockey and NYSAHA as a T1/AAA organization, provides quality coaching, competitive hockey and comprehensive training at one convenient location - ESL Sports Centre. Our Tier I/AAA Alliance & Amerks youth travel teams participate in the Empire West Amateur Hockey League (EWAHL). League participants now include the Rochester Americans, Buffalo Regals, West Seneca Wings, Pittsburgh Jr. Penguins, Syracuse Stars and Cleveland Jr. Jacks.
RYH also fields Amerks' youth travel teams at the non-tournament AA and mixed major levels, all competing in the WNYAHL.
The Rochester Edge Girls' travel program will again field teams at the 12U, 14U and 16U levels. Our Edge teams attract WNY's most advanced players and consistently compete for NYSAHA and USA Hockey's National championships. Our Edge program remains the Rochester area's only T1 program offering the highest level of competition, competing in the Southwest Girls' Hockey League (SWGHL). Many of our Edge Alumni have reached the D1 and D3 collegiate levels and, most impressive, have earned roster spots on USA Hockey's national team. Our Edge program's accomplishments speak for themselves.
Our 'House' program continues to grow and thrive; with teams at all levels including Initiation/Pony, Mite, Squirt, PeeWee, Bantam and Midget. Our 'House' teams compete in the Empire Amateur Hockey Conference (EAHC) and have captured numerous regular season and playoff championships in recent years. Our 'House' coaches follow and implement similar coaching plans and strategies, as do our Edge and Amerks' travel coaches.
