Buffalo Spring Hockey
Pilot Mound Hockey Academy runs AAA Spring Hockey Programs that will provide an opportunity for players in a variety of different age groups to play higher-caliber hockey against teams across North America.
The program begins at the start of spring with optional development skates held throughout the year. We believe in players being multiple sport athletes. With this in mind, our spring program will be finished before the beginning of June.

LEVEL OF COMPETITION
The PMHA AAA program does provide different levels of game competition.
AAA- Completes in the Gold Divisions at Elite tournaments across North America. This group is composed of top players in each age group who travel to 3-4 tournaments. The focus is on skill development and high level competition. This team is selected through our evaluators through Identification Skates.
Silver/Open– These teams may compete in all tournaments, but generally do not compete against the elite teams. All the tournaments we attend have the option of “silver” level teams which this group would play against. PMHA’s focus is on skill development and higher level competition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are ID Skates?
The Pilot Mound Buffalo evaluators will host ID skates during the Fall of 2026 and Winter of 2026/27. ID skates are open tryouts where all players are put through the paces in-front of PMHA staff. Once ID skates are finished, the Buffalo staff will form the teams. They will be in contact with players through the contact information provided in the registration process.

2027 Season
Pilot Mound Hockey Academy's AAA Spring Hockey Program offers motivated athletes the opportunity to compete in high-level spring hockey against premier teams from across North America. Designed for players in multiple age divisions, the program focuses on development, competition, and exposure in a positive and challenging environment.
The program begins each spring, with optional development skates available throughout the year to help players prepare and continue their growth. PMHA is committed to developing well-rounded athletes and strongly supports participation in multiple sports. As a result, our spring hockey season is intentionally structured to conclude before June, allowing players to pursue other athletic opportunities and maintain a balanced approach to their development.
