About SCYIHA

SCYIHA has provided safe, affordable, high-quality youth hockey programming in Central Pennsylvania since 1983. We currently have over 100 youth hockey players of all age groups and ability levels developing their hockey skills in the state-of-the-art Pegula Ice Arena at Penn State University. We field competitive hockey teams at the 8U to 19U levels that participate in the Pittsburgh Amateur Hockey League (State College Icers - August to March). We also field Spring hockey teams (Saber Cats - April to June) and AA tournament teams (Keystone Wild - June to August).

Whether your child is just learning the game or is looking to develop into an exceptional hockey player, we'd love to have your child grow with our hockey family in our welcoming, supportive environment. Together we can help your child become an exceptional person who loves and excels at the greatest game on ice!

To provide safe, affordable, high-quality youth ice hockey programming for residents of Central Pennsylvania and beyond.

SCYIHA's four operating pillars:

1. Promoting a love of the game
2. Developing skills
3. Developing teams
4. Developing character and sportsmanship on and off the ice
