Equipment Requirements
Each NYHA player is personally responsible for ensuring he/she has all necessary equipment for games, warm-ups, and practices as required by USA Hockey rules. Ensuring each player has equipment that fits well and properly protects them is critical to having fun and gaining confidence while on the ice.
NYHA colors are Black, Red, and White. We encourage families to purchase a Black helmet, gloves, and hockey pants (breezers), but it is not mandatory for players at the house-level.
