This Wednesday, January 15th, 2025, we are thrilled to celebrate one of our longtime coaches, Tim DiGiulio, as he is honored with the prestigious J. Michael Duffett Award at the Sabres game. This award recognizes coaches who exemplify exceptional knowledge, teaching, love for hockey, and humanity in their contributions to amateur hockey in Western New York. With 26 consecutive years of coaching at Amherst Youth Hockey and currently serving as the assistant coach for our Girls 10U team, Tim’s dedication and impact are truly inspiring. Congratulations, Tim, on this incredible achievement!
