We have NOT made decisions whether to postpone the games this weekend, either at The Farm or the games at Cass.

The Farm - 6:30 Sunday
We will make a decision on Saturday about playing Sunday's game.

We will not ask you to drive to Vestal if significant snow is still predicted for Sunday afternoon and night.  But, it's still 68 hours away, and the forecasts continue to change.  During threats of bad weather, we follow the forecasts of four different weather services.  Hopefully, the four forecasts will converge, but this doesn't always happen.   With the Farm being an hour's drive away, we'll make the call before going to bed Saturday night.  Yes, it's not looking great right now.

A note about the cold.  Before Cass was an enclosed rink, we did not cancel games because of cold weather.  Our current thinking remains the same.  

Cass Park games - 7:15 & 8:45
We will make a decision on these games when the status becomes clear.  If we wake up to several inches of snow on Sunday, and the forecasts are for continued snow, we'll make the decision earlier in the day.  For local games, in addition to the four forecast sites, we also review weather radar, and make our best guess as close as a few hours before game time. We also check road conditions.  We typically are more concerned with ice and freezing rain than a few inches of snow.  But five or seven or 10 inches does get our attention.

Rescheduling
Our current plans call for any of these games that are postponed to be made up on Sunday, February 15th, at the same time and location as originally scheduled.

The regular season runs from mid-October to mid-February, followed by the playoffs, which ends mid-March.  Each team plays 26 regular season games, plus a minimum of two playoff games.  Teams are formed by the board, and consist of 13 players.  Goalies form a pool, and are assigned to games by the goalie coordinator. 

The B/C division is strictly for intermediate and novice level players (low B to D skill levels).  Players new to the league must play in an assessment game that is held prior to the season.  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).   The A/B season is currently underway. (click here for A/B).  For more information about A/B, email Alex Hayes at alexander.hayes@gmail.com

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

The league is full for the 2025-26 season.

If you still have questions, or want to be added to our mailing list for next season, please email us at info@ithacaadulthockey.com.

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.

While we support everyone in the league staying up to date with recommended vaccinations, we no longer require them for participation in the league.  We expect everyone to be respectful of others’ health, and to 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.
