This registration session will allow you to complete contact information, sign up for participation and submit payment. To complete registration through our secure site, please have your Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or checking account information available.
Please note there are three options for signing up for LTP. You will be given the option to register for session 1, session 2, or both sessions.
Registering for both sessions provides an immediate discount of $20.00 of your registration for both sessions by combining them as one time.
The following is some basic information on the LTP program at CSYHA.
Session 1: Late October - Mid December
Session 2: Early January - Early March
Forty-five minute ice times are usually Saturday mornings (9:00 or 10:00 typically) and Monday nights (6:15).
No prior skating or hockey experience is necessary. Teaching kids how to skate is what we do!
Our focus is providing a fun, safe, and exciting experience for all kids to learn how to skate and to begin learning the basic skills of ice hockey.
We will play some “hockey” the last ice time of Session 1 and the last few Saturday ice slots of Session 2. These games are NOT our focus. Our focus is F- U-N! We may add in a little skill development along the way.
Learn to Play registration is done on the website and normally opens up after the first board meeting in September annually. Discounts are given to those who register for both sessions.
For more information, contact the CSYHA President at CSYHA President at president@centerstatehockey.com

Registration for players on CSYHA teams is done on the Teams Registration page and please note that on that page, that for the registration system to recognize that your family is registering multiple players you must register them all in the same session. On the Review Page, there is a link near the bottom to "Register Another Player" - please click on this link to ensure that all of your family's players are registered within the same order.
***Failure to do so will result in a forfeiture of your family's discounted rates.***
***NOTE: The TEAM registration system should check to ensure the highest registration is paid in full but if there is an error made CSYHA will contact you to ensure discounts are ultimately applied correction. To avoid issues register your players with the highest registration fees first.***
Should you experience an issue registering please send an email to admin@centerstatehockey.com with information on the issues you experienced.

A: ADM or The American Developmental Model promotes the integration of cross-ice practices and games into youth hockey.
ADM raises the level of creativity among players, increase player participation, and create a positive environment for kids to play, love and excel.
A: The goal for Mini-Mite/Mite Hockey Players is to pickup basic skills and have fun playing hockey.
They will learn skating forward and backwards, stick handling, puck control, passing and shooting,teamwork and the basics of hockey.
They will have a blast.
A: Properly fitted equipment is very important. You do not need all equipment for Learn to Play but it is highly recommended as it protects your child from falls and collisions, not just checking which is not a part of LTP. Your child should have hockey skates, shin, elbow & shoulder pads, hockey pants, hockey gloves, hockey stick, hockey helmet with full facial cage, an athletic hockey cup (for boys.), (neck & mouth guards are not required) and a hockey bag to throw it all in to. You can find most of it second hand at places like Play it Again Sports. Even if you were to buy all new equipment it wouldn't be more than $300.00 for everything. Dick's Sporting Goods is the largest hockey retailer in the area and usually always stocks basic gear and sizes for younger kids.
A: Absolutely. Although CSYHA does not have girl specific teams this season all of our teams are co-ed teams.
A:No. Many of our first year skaters have never even been on the ice. The CSYHA LTP coaches work with players of all skill levels on their skating ability, stick handling, puck control, passing and shooting. This said, the more advanced your child's skating skills results in more advanced puck skills as comfort standing and skating allows more focus on other skills.
We focus on fun and this results in them quickly pick up the basics of skating.
A: We will have two 2 on-ice sessions per week. The LTP program normally meets Monday evenings and Saturday in the AM for the sessions.
A: Ice time is usually for 45 minutes to 1 hour per session. Parents and guardians need to be able to get their child to the facility at least 20 minutes early to ensure adequate time to get into their equipment, lace their skates and be ready to get on to the ice.
CSYHA LTP is a volunteer organization and we do encourage participation from our parents and guardians. It is also not uncommon to see SUNY Morrisville College Hockey players as well as Cazenovia High School and CSYHA team players on the ice helping your kids. Many work to give back to the younger players.
A. No. Hockey is not a "drop off” sport. Your child may need your assistance with their gear or may have to go to the restroom.
A: Of course. Session are open to anybody who wants to see what hockey is all about. Feel free to talk to the coaches after the practice or even talk to parents at the rink.
A: CSYHA LTP is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to developing CNY youth hockey.
