Although success at the team and individual level is important, SYHA places significant emphasis on the development of student -athletes of all level of abilities. SYHA promotes long-term athlete and child development by providing on-ice and off-ice training opportunities that allow each player to maximize his or her potential in a competitive learning environment, while providing lessons that allow them to excel in life. We believe very strongly in citizenship, sense of community and sportsmanship.

Congratulations to the Peewee '09 Team on winning their division at the Big Chill Tournament in Ann Arbor, MLK Weekend.

Although we had a brief break last year, this Program-Wide Tournament is an annual tradition that provides a great opportunity for SYHA families and players to come together as a community  for training, learning, and fun! Congrats to all our players on a successful weekend! 

Effective March 2, 2022, the City will no longer require employees and visitors to wear masks in City buildings. People may choose to mask at any time and we will continue to provide masks at the reception desks of City buildings. In recognition, that each individual’s circumstances and health conditions are different, please be respectful of others who prefer to be masked.

Persons with COVID symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 must wear a mask. Also, per current CDC and ODH guidance, any employee who returns to work following a COVID-19 diagnosis and 5-day isolation period must wear a mask for 5 days in lieu of a 10-day quarantine, and anyone who has had a close contact COVID exposure, with no symptoms, must mask for 10 days. You can find the full CDC guideline outlined in the City’s memo which may be viewed here.

This change in City masking policy is dependent on continued low COVID-19 case rates within our County. You can monitor the County’s status at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html.

Thank you so much for supporting our Skate-a-thon fundraiser. We raised more than $1,300 at the event and our skaters raised over $17,000 for SYHA! A very sincere and heart-felt thank you for making Sunday's Skate-a-thon fundraiser another fantastic event.

The 1970-71 Red Raiders—Shaker’s first high hockey team in modern history—pictured here at Thornton Park—prior to its first game at Garfield Heights on December 3, 1970.  Note the Boston Bruin jerseys—the same jerseys worn during the inaugural game. The familiar red and white uniforms were not ready until later in the season.
