Founded more than a decade ago, Lincoln Youth Hockey Association is dedicated to providing a stimulating and rewarding athletic experience for the children of the community. The Association believes that participation in team sports can be an important ingredient in healthy youth maturation. Our programs are designed to generate self-esteem and good sportsmanship through skills development in a positive social environment. Above all, we try to assure that youth hockey is fun! House league play is organized to achieve a learning and recreational atmosphere featuring equal ice time for all and intramural competition among players of similar abilities. Our Travel teams offer players with stronger skills a more intense experience and the opportunity to compete at the highest levels in the state and beyond. Our programs are open to all skaters. Our Travel team constituency is governed by the rules and bylaws of the Rhode Island Amateur Hockey Association. As a nonprofit, volunteer organization, LYHA is totally dependent on the commitment of parents and others to fill all coaching and administrative positions. LYHA also relies heavily on the generosity and support of parents and sponsors to keep our programs affordable to all. To the extent possible, the Association provides financial assistance to eager participants who would otherwise be excluded. The essence of this philosophy is reviewed and reaffirmed each year by the Board. In this regard the comments and suggestions of players and parents are always welcome.
