LEAGUESLong Island Amateur Hockey League (LIAHL) is the premier
league for Travel hockey teams from Westchester and Long
Island. Teams competing in the specific LIAHL divisions play a
home game and away game against other teams in the league
throughout the season. The LIAHL final season standings are
used to qualify for the LIAHL playoffs and the New York State
Tournament (PeeWees and up).
Eastern Junior Elite Prospects League (EJEPL) prepares
players to become the Junior, Prep School and College recruits of
the future. Many of the owners of top Junior programs, top Prep
School programs and AAA Youth organizations regularly scout
the EJEPL and its 90 partner organizations. The EJEPL creates
a seamless transition process that allows players at 9U through
18U levels to develop their skills and learn league play with the
ability to stay in their organizations through college. During the
season, players are rewarded with the opportunity to practice
and play with teams at the next level, culminating with the parent
clubs in each organization. The EJEPL provides a high level of
competition for teams along the East Coast.
