The Saugerties Youth Hockey Association (SYHA) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, established in 1999 and is sanctioned under the New York State Amateur Hockey Association and USA Hockey.
The Saugerties Youth Hockey Association maintains a number of youth teams, including home and travel teams, and offers instructional programs.
SYHA has hockey equipment available for participants in the Learn to Play program. These “starter kits” for kids help parents avoid the cost of buying equipment. The starter kit covers each child from helmet to shin guards and comes in a nice carrying bag (excluding skates, neck guard, hockey socks, groin protection, mouthpiece & stick).
Skates are available from the Kiwanis Ice Arena rental window. They are free of charge for Learn to Play hockey players and must be returned after each practice.
The Learn To Play program is SYHA’s beginner skating and hockey program. This is where children beginning at the age of 3 are taught how to skate and play the game of hockey.
