Ithaca adult hockey association

The Ithaca Adult Hockey Association was formed during the summer of 1999 by a group of players from both the Cass Park and the Rink leagues. The primary goal of IAHA is to promote a healthy and fun recreational adult hockey league in Ithaca by providing oversight of the league administration, improving parity among teams, promoting sportsmanship, and encouraging players at all skill levels to participate. 
 
IAHA offers a B/C Division only.  An A/B Division is organized by the Community Recreation Center.  For information about A/B, email Alex Hayes at alexander.hayes@gmail.com
 

2024-25 Registration Status

Do Not register for anything other than wait list unless directed to do so by Eric Cyker or Dan Hazlitt.

Skater spots for our seven teams are full.  You can still sign up on the wait list, which we use to fill spots that open during the season. 

Goalies, contact us via email at info@ithacaadulthockey.com if you want to play.

Reminder, if you want to sub, you'll need to find a team to sub with and the captain will make the request to the board.  You can also let us know, and we'll forward your name to the captains.  If you're new to the league, we'll need to be able to verify your skill level before we can approve you to play.

Preseason Game Signup

All players new to the league, including subs, are required to play one game.  Returning players are invited to play, and will be asked to assist in evaluating the new players.

Beginners and Novice Clinic

Beginners, novice players, and anyone looking for some extra pointers...

One of our players is looking to organize a few ice sessions to work on basic skills, game situations, and any individual skills that you'd like help with.
If you're interested, email Anthony at adicembre@gmail.com

 

League Information (for 2024-25 season)

If you are new to the league and want some information, please check out the League Information & Rules. Last year's game schedule will answer most of your schedule questions.  If you still have questions, or want to be added to our mailing list, please email us at info@ithacaadulthockey.com.

The B/C division is strictly for intermediate and novice level players.  New players who are above the intermediate level should sign up for the A/B division run by the Community Recreation Center.  This includes players who have played (or could have played) youth travel, high school, college club, or any organized hockey at a highly competitive level (even if it was 30 years ago).   A/B is currently reserving spots at their site (click here for A/B).  For more information about A/B, email Alex Hayes at alexander.hayes@gmail.com

Behavioral Concerns

The Ithaca Adult Hockey Association intends for this to be a safe, inclusive, and fun experience for all participants.  Any concerns of inappropriate or dangerous behavior at a league game, either on or off the ice, may be reported to behavior@ithacaadulthockey.com.  A board member will be assigned to review your concern, investigate the particulars, and take any corrective action deemed necessary by the Board.

2024-25 COVID-19 POLICY

While we encourage everyone in the league to stay up to date with COVID-19 (and influenza) vaccinations, we no longer require them for participation in the league.  We are discontinuing the formal COVID-19 policy and waiver we have required players to sign in the past.   We expect everyone to be respectful of others’ health, and make appropriate decisions on whether to play when not feeling well.  If you do test positive for COVID during the season, you are asked to notify us so any players  and officials who may have been exposed can be notified.  Many players either have risk factors for severe cases, or live or visit with others who do.
