High school ice hockey in New York

Boys' ice hockey is a popular and growing sport in the state of New York. Culturally, ice hockey is a fairly well known sport throughout the state, especially Upstate New York - due in part to its cultural connections with Canada and Southern Ontario.

High school hockey in New York is not unified under one organization, similar to states like Minnesota and New Jersey. The majority of schools participate in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, while the remainder complete in USA Hockey-organized club leagues.

History

Though high school hockey in New York can be dated back to the mid-1940s, the first league called the Northern New York Scholastic Hockey League was formed in 1948 and comprised teams from Massena, Norfolk, Potsdam and Saranac Lake. One of the League's founders, Don Spotswood, was a 1934 Clarkson College graduate who taught high school mathematics in the then Norfolk School District (today Norwood-Norfolk). Clarkson College, along with St. Lawrence University, were significant influences in the birth of high school hockey in this region.

Buffalo Explorer High School Club Hockey League was the first club hockey league in Western New York, starting in 1972. Southtowns High School Club Hockey League began in 1974 and Western New York High School Club Hockey League in 1976.

NYSPHSAA recognized high school hockey starting in 1980 with official state tournament being held. Not every section started at the same time and not every team that was sanctioned was allowed to participate in the sanctioned State tournament. Section VI (Western New York) did not allow its champion to participate until 2001. NYSAHA recognized high school hockey in 1982 but league championship were being held as early as 1972 in Buffalo. NYSAHA awarded one championship from 1982 through 2001; the association divided into two divisions in 2002 through 2009 and awarded "Large" and "Small" school championships. Since 2010, only one championship has been awarded.

In 2008-09, there was no club state championship. For the 2009-10 season, WNYHSCHL joined AAU.

New York State Public High School Athletic Association

151 high schools field "sanctioned" varsity teams competing in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, which competes under National Federation of State High School Associations rules.

The sanctioned teams compete from end of November through mid-March with a maximum number of practices and games. These teams are divided into two divisions, I and II, based on school enrollment (Division I being larger schools). The sanctioned Varsity teams are divided into sections used by every sport under the NYSPHSAA; Sections I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, IX, and X.

There are only a small handful of teams which participate from Sections IV and IX, and no teams participate from Long Island (Sections VIII and XI). The majority of high school hockey teams in these regions compete in the USA Hockey-sanctioned New York State Amateur Hockey Association club leagues.

Each section has different sets of rules for eligibility of Catholic teams to participate in the State Tournament. Sections I and VI do not allow Catholic schools to compete for the Public State Tournament; these sections determine the state title with a 1-game championship game between the downstate CHSAA (which overlaps geographically with Sections I, VIII, and XI, and NYC) and upstate Monsignor Martin (overlapping geographically with Section VI) leagues.

NYPHSAA State tournament

The NYSPHSAA holds two tournaments for boys' hockey in March of each year, one each for Division I and Division II. Pre-determined state tournament brackets are utilized, with each section sending its champion along with at-large teams as necessary to fill the brackets out to 8 teams each. The tournament is single elimination, with the first round grouped regionally to minimize travel for teams prior to the Final Four. The Final Four for Divisions I, and II were played in Utica, New York's Memorial Auditorium from the tournament's inception in 1980 until 2015; since then they have been held at the LECOM Harborcenter in Buffalo, New York.

New York State Amateur Hockey Association

76 club and "non-sanctioned" New York High School Hockey teams compete in New York State Amateur Hockey Association.

NYSAHA is the New York state affiliate of USA Hockey. There are four active leagues in the state, each of which follows the NYSAHA Guidebook for state-bound eligibility. The majority of the teams come from Long Island, Broome County, Hudson Valley, and Western New York. The non-sanctioned Club teams are divided into sections used by all amateur hockey teams under the NYSAHA umbrella. Due to USA Hockey regulations, Club teams are not permitted to play against teams under the NYSPHSAA umbrella as those teams are not registered with USA Hockey.

NYSAHA has set guidelines on the state bound teams and, depending on the number of teams from each section that are state-bound, determine how many teams from each section will attend the three-day state tournament. Typically two teams, the regular season champion and playoff champion, from each league will be invited to the state tournament, although this has not necessarily been the case each year.

Suffolk County SCHSHL 10 Section XI

Broome County BCHSHA 6 Section IV

Eight teams participate in three-day state tournament to determine the State champion. The tournament begins with a group stage where all teams play 3 games each; the top two teams from each group move onto the semifinals and the winners of those two games move on to the finals, all of which are one-game elimination. The champion moves on to play in the USA Hockey National Championship tournament typically at the end of March.

The non-sanctioned teams have no official start and stop date and no limit on the minimum and maximum of games. NYSAHA club teams retain their "club" label, though many are branded as high school hockey similar to a traditional varsity team. Due to this, the skill level varies from club to club despite all being "high school hockey". NYSAHA clubs vary a lot, with some being more advanced or higher level, while others are played more on the basis of having fun or winning a local championship instead of a state championship.
