PROGRAM SUMMARY

The Adirondack 46ers Hockey Club was created in the spring of 2017 with a 12U girls team and a 2005 boys team.

All teams play a highly competitive schedule that prepares players for success at regular competition, NYSAHA State Tournament, and USA Hockey National Tournament. The 46ers attract many of the North Country’s most advanced, dedicated, and skilled players.

The 46ers are gaining a reputation for developing girls and boys willing to put in the time and effort to continue their progression and achieve higher levels of play.

The Adirondack 46ers Hockey Club is committed to helping female and male hockey players develop as athletes, leaders, and members of the community through a competitive hockey environment that instills life values such as teamwork, sportsmanship, a consistent work ethic, and respect for self and others. 

The 46ers place a strong focus on development of the entire player, not only on the ice, but also off the ice, in school, and in the community. A strong focus is placed on developing the complete player in academics, nutrition, off ice training & preparation, and community involvement.

Dual Roster/ Split Season Explanation

The 46-R name was originally thought of in 1930s for hiking members that climbed all 46 high peaks in the Adirondack Mountains.

The name inspired the Adirondack 46ers Hockey Club to be formed in 2017 as a Hockey Club that could represent the many players throughout the North Country. The regional name of "Adirondack" was inspired by the communities within and just outside to the East, North, and West of the Adirondack Park that players come from.

The name 46ers was inspiring to the Hockey Club name as it represented athletic ability, determination,  dedication, and accomplishment to climbing all 46 high peaks in the Adirondack Mountains.
