Joining the NYCGHA
In general, if you are interested in starting or returning to hockey, contact us and we will be happy to figure out where you can start with the NYCGHA. Here are some specific suggestions:

Information for beginners
Check out our collection of tidbits for beginning hockey players. Everything from, "OK. How do I put on all this gear?" to "Where am I supposed to stand in face-offs near my goaltender?"
Sub in a game
A great way to meet our members and experience on-ice action is to join us for a game.
If you have prior hockey experience, depending on where we are in the season and on availability, you may be able to try out on one of our teams as an alternate. The alternate fee is $35 per game, the same price as a rostered player. Note that you must be a member of the NYCGHA and follow our Code of Conduct.
If you are a beginner, you can take Adult Hockey Prep courses through Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers to learn the basics before joining a team.
Contact us for more information.
