Overview
Amherst Youth Hockey is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing boys and girls with the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive through the sport of ice hockey. Guided by USA Hockey’s American Development Model, we balance recreation and competitiveness, fostering sportsmanship, teamwork, and essential life skills that help players succeed both on and off the ice.
Building a Strong Community On and Off the Ice
We pride ourselves on assembling a team of dedicated coaches, administrators, and volunteers who exemplify leadership and a commitment to excellence. Our coaches focus on teaching the fundamentals of skating and hockey while instilling respect, discipline, and camaraderie in every player.
Hockey is more than just a game—it’s a community. At Amherst Youth Hockey, we create a welcoming environment that fosters strong relationships among players, families, and staff. From team-building activities to social events, we provide opportunities for everyone to connect and grow together.

Safety and inclusivity are at the core of our mission. We actively collaborate with USA Hockey and other organizations to implement best practices in player safety, injury prevention, and risk management. Our programs welcome participants of all backgrounds and skill levels, ensuring everyone has the chance to succeed.
At Amherst Youth Hockey, we are committed to shaping not only exceptional athletes but also confident, well-rounded individuals. By providing a supportive and engaging environment, we strive to make every player’s hockey journey unforgettable, building lifelong skills and connections along the way. Together, we’re creating more than players—we’re creating a legacy.
