March has arrived and this will leads to tryouts which are officially underway as of 2/28 and 3/1 for 12U (Pee Wee) and under and 4/4 and 4/5 for 13U (Bantam) & older. Click here or on our tryouts tab above to get the latest information available.
I want to congratulate our Squirt Major team coached by Brandon Evancho on their WNYAHL playoff win against West Seneca on Sunday 2/26. It was a fantastic game. The boys played their hearts out and celebrated with a shut out, a trophy and a playoff win banner. Congratulations to the entire coaches staff, our parents and the players for a fantastic season!
We are also reaching out to our member families looking to fill some very important board positions for the 23-24 hockey season. These positions qualify for registration discount incentives and require attendance at monthly meetings and regular communication with our board constants. If you are interested in being a part of your child's youth hockey experience and would like more information contact one of our board members.
Our board of directors is committed to continuing to make Southtowns a great place to play youth hockey. We are always looking to enhance our program to continue to make it more attractive. During the past two seasons we have implemented the following new programs and incentives to continue to help celebrate and thank our member families:
As a leadership board we will continue to look at additional ways to to enhance our program incentives and offerings for the 23-24 season.

We just wrapped up another season of our Skating & Goalie clinics. Check back early next season for more details about 2023-24 clinics.
Tom Iafallo has led the Skating Clinics and Bob Janosz has led our Goalie Clinics. There is typically a maximum of 35 registrants/skaters per session.
Skating Clinics:
For Teams
To reserve a clinic for your team, please contact John Franke at vp@southtownsstars.com in advance. The cost per team is $150 and can be sent via Venmo to Bev Kirkpatrick: @beverly-kirkpatrick-2.
For Individual Players
For future clinics that don't have a team already booked, they're open to registered STS players. Each player must register in advance via an online form (which will be posted below within a week of the clinic date). The cost of the skating clinics for individual players is $15 and must be paid via VENMO to @beverly-kirkpatrick-2 after you register. You'll see a Southtowns Stars Logo next to her name.
VENMO is the only payment accepted at this time. In order to be on the ice, you must register and submit payment.
DATES & TIMES
Skating Clinics for registered STSAHA MOHL & Travel players
will be at Leisure Rinks. Times TBD.
Goalie Clinics will cost about $125 per team which will be drafted in late November/early December from your team bank account. We are asking that our head coaches require Goalie Clinics 1x each month when it does not conflict with a team hockey event. Therefore, no signups will be needed and there's no direct cost for each individual player.
DATES & TIMES
Goalie Clinics for registered STSAHA MOHL & Travel players
will be at Leisure Rinks. Times TBD.
