The Ithaca Adult Hockey Association was formed during the summer of 1999 by a group of players from both the Cass Park and the Rink leagues. The primary goal of IAHA is to promote a healthy and fun recreational adult hockey league in Ithaca by providing oversight of the league administration, improving parity among teams, promoting sportsmanship, and encouraging players at all skill levels to participate.

Spring Hockey, Summer Hockey and Next Season
There are no spring or summer leagues in Ithaca. There are private groups playing at The Rink and Lynah (when it reopens in July). If any group contacts us looking for players, we will send an e-mail to our members and will also post it here. There is also early morning open hockey at The Rink. Contact them directly at 277-7465 for details.
Next Season -2013-14
As we have in the past, we will plan to post and send registration materials roughly the first weekend in September. If you are new to the league and want to play, send us your e-mail address and we'll add you to the mailing list. Also check back on the website. You can find out a lot about the league by reading last year's welcome message, registration material and schedule. If you still have questions, send us an e-mail.

Cayuga Lumber Woodcrushers win A/B Championship
The Cayuga Lumber Woodcrushers won the A/B division championship with a dramatic 4-3 come-from-behind victory in overtime against Lowe's Soft Water. Lowe's opened the scoring on a short-handed goal at 5:09 of the first period and held that 1-0 lead at the end of the period. Cayuga Lumber evened the score less than two minutes into the second frame and then took a 2-1 lead with a power play goal about six minutes later. The second period ended with Cayuga Lumber holding the one goal lead.
The momentum swings contined as Lowe's evened the score at 2-2 with their own power play goal just 1:26 into the 3rd period. They regained the lead less than six minutes later on a shot redirected just outside the crease. Lowe's continued to apply pressure, but failed to add to their lead on a penalty shot attempt at 12:15.
Cayuga Lumber took another penalty with just under two minutes left, but was able to force the play to the Lowe's end of the ice. With their goalie on the bench for an extra skater, Cayuga Lumber tied the game with just 7 seconds remaining, sending the game to overtime. The championship winning goal was scored at 3:25 of the first overtime.
Cayuga Lumber swept the series, winning the first game 4-2 (empty net). They were also A/B division regular season champions.

Collegetown Bagels are Champions of B/C Division
Collegetown Bagels scored the only goal of the deciding game just 29 seconds into the first period to win the B/C championship over Gorges. The 1-0 game was emotional and hard-fought throughout, with both teams having numerous scoring opportunities. The teams traded power plays in the second period, with Gorges having two 5-on-4 chances and Collegetown Bagels three. The third period featured a penalty shot opportunity for Gorges as well as two 5-on-3 chances, but CTB was able to hold onto their slim lead.
The two teams split the first two games of the series, with CTB winning the first 3-2 and Gorges putting on a strong showing for a 3-0 win in the second game. Collegetown Bagels were also the B/C division champions for the regular season.
