The Stamford Youth Hockey Association is one of the oldest youth hockey programs in the Tri-State area, established nearly 50 years ago. The league was founded on and maintains the principles that the Sharks are a family, and hockey should be available to all those interested, regardless of experience, abilities and socioeconomic status. The organization is one of the few that provides need-based scholarships irrespective of playing ability.
Our programs offer a full spectrum of opportunities beginning at age 4 and lasting through 19, with the Tiger Sharks/Learn to Play program, progressing into local House Leagues, and competitive Travel programs. Many of our players have continued their playing careers at the next level, many of whom have returned to their Sharks’ family as coaches and Board members.

Thank you to Alex Kapasouris for providing all the details below.
If you've never heard of Blind Hockey, it is a real thing. A good intro to some of the history is found here: NHL - Breaking Down Barriers Episode #4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHKTKAmwzFQ.
This event aims to unite players of varying skill levels for a weekend of skills development, scrimmaging, and gameplay. This is open to all Blind Hockey Players. These athletes range from legally blind (partially sighted) to completely blind, but they have the courage and passion to lace up their skates and take to the ice to play hockey. Some of the USA Blind Hockey National Team members will be participating in the event.
The weekend of October 7-9 many of our SYHA Sharks teams competed at the Congressional Cup in Washington D.C.
A great time was had by all as the Sharks represented SYHA playing teams up and down the east coast and as far out as Nevada.
Beyond the hockey, many teams were able to visit historical sights at our nation's capital and fit in a Washington Capitals game, bonding teammates together and creating lifelong memories.
A special congratulations to Coach Scott Valenzano and his Bantam A's as they tore through the tournament, winning it all and posting a combing +25 Goal Differential!
Thanks to all SYHA families and players for helping to create a special weekend.
Go Sharks!
