Boston Imperials Announce Entrance into Northeast Youth Hockey League

February 14, 2025

Dear Boston Imperials,

We are excited to welcome your program to the NYHL for the 2025/26 season. The NYHL currently has 16 programs spread out across New England. In order to ensure that teams are not required to travel long distance, we have divided the teams into two, 8 team divisions. The Atlantic division will cover MA, NH, ME, & RI. While the Mountain Valley will cover Western MA, CT, NY.

The teams will compete in 34 league games. It will begin with a 3-game parity round in the spring. Teams will have an 18 game league schedule including 9 home games/9 away games. We will also have two local cross-over events for teams to compete against teams in other divisions without having to travel to their home locations. The season will conclude with a four-game playoff event.

The NYHL will acknowledge Thanksgiving, Christmas, MLK and Presidents day as blackout dates. We will be sending additional information including division declarations. Happy tryout season!

Important dates:

Parity TBD *Spring 2025

Organizations submit ice by July 15th. League schedule released by August 1st.
