Welcome to the TAYHA website!

Established in 1949, Troy - Albany Youth Hockey has evolved into a multi-divisional program providing an environment for boys & girls in "Pursuit of Excellence" on and off the ice. Over the years, TAYHA has provided thousands of children the opportunity to play recreational and competitve, select team hockey. Many TAYHA alumni have gone on to play highschool, college and professional hockey. Among our alumni are NHL standouts, Rich Brennan, Guy Hebert, Dave Reece, Craig Darby, Matt Murley, Marc Cavosie and Coach Ned Harkness, who was also one of TAYHA's founding fathers. While we are justifiably proud of their accomplishments, we are equally proud of the thousands of boys and girls who have come to TAYHA to work hard, and develop the skills needed to succeed on and off the ice. TAYHA is a member of the New York State Amateur Hockey Association and is Tournament Bound at the Tier I level.
