Unsure if ice hockey is for you? Come give it a shot during the USA Hockey Try Hockey for Free events. Participants will be given the opportunity to get on the ice with Jr. Rampage coaches and players to give their skating legs a try. The next scheduled event will be in November of 2025 at the Northwoods Ice & Golf Center and is open to BEGINNERS. Registration is coming soon for anyone between 4 and 9 years old. Older kids are welcome provided a waiver is signed. You can find more details here. For additional questions, reach out to our Association Vice President. 

Whether your child is brand new to the ice or has only just begun to successfully stand and stop on the ice, Northwoods Ice & Golf Center is the place for you! While SAYHA and the Jr. Rampage do not offer beginner classes, Northwoods has age and skill appropriate classes through its Learn to Skate Program for any beginner ice hockey player.

Once basic ice skating skills are learned, skaters may progress to the Hockey 1 and Hockey 2 Learn to Skate programs. Designed to help your hockey player learn the basics of hockey skating before attempting to play the game, this program is offered to ages 5-16.

Please contact Northwoods with any questions regarding their Learn to Skate Programs.

Their top priority is skill development, and their morning skill skate sessions and C2C camps have enabled them the opportunity to make a big impact with their members. At Coast2Coast, the coaches are dedicated to providing the absolute best coaching and hockey development training available.

Their morning sessions link the individual skill work with the learning of team concepts from regular practice and games to give your child the best opportunity to improve and have the most amount of fun playing this great sport.

​Whatever level you are at, or whatever level you aspire to, EVERY player can get better. Their mission is to help each and every player they encounter, boy or girl, reach their true potential. 

After a successful completion of Hockey Learn to Skate, participants can move on to the Hockey Dynamics program at Northwoods. This program is intended for those who have obtained the skating fundamentals and wish to further hone their skills allowing for easy adjustment into the Northwoods Youth House Leagues.

After Hockey Dynamics, Northwoods offers four Youth Leagues organized by age. This is includes the 5-8 year old Mites, 9-10 year old squirts, 11-12 year old Peewees, and 13-18 year old combined Bantam/Midgets. The league programs will challenge players to develop their individual skills and bond with teammates during practices and live game scenarios.

San Antonio Youth Hockey Association teams play under the banner of the Jr. Rampage. Our teams compete in the highly competitive Texas Hockey League (THL) at the House/Recreation & Tier II levels. Substantial travel is involved as our teams compete across Texas during the regular season and playoffs. When rostered, the High School team competes in the Interscholastic Hockey League (ISHL) in Houston.
