The Atlantic Hockey Federation (AHF) today announced that Genesis Hockey Club, a nonprofit youth hockey organization based in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, has joined the league. The move expands competitive opportunities for Genesis teams and families across multiple age levels as part of AHF’s national footprint and member-run league
structure.
Genesis, founded in 2019 through the merger of two longstanding local programs, has built a
development focused culture serving players from 8U through 18U. The club’s leadership
evaluated the transition with a focus on maintaining a strong experience for families while
ensuring players have the right environment to keep growing on the ice. With a track record of
championship teams and consistent playoff appearances across its program, Genesis is widely
respected among players, families, and youth hockey peers for sustained competitive
excellence.
“For Genesis, joining AHF is about giving our players the chance to compete in a strong league
environment and continuing to raise the bar for our program,” said Tony Montagna, President
of Genesis Hockey Club. “As a nonprofit organization, our focus stays on what best serves our
athletes and families, and this move supports that mission well as we look ahead.”
AHF is a USA Hockey sanctioned Elite Tier II youth hockey league with a national footprint and
more than 50 member owned clubs, offering AA competition from 8U through 18U, with
additional programming at select levels. The league’s member-driven structure is designed to
deliver a consistent competitive experience, support player development, and create
meaningful pathways for athletes and programs that want to measure themselves against top
organizations across the country.
“Genesis has built its program with a clear focus on player development and competitive
growth, which makes it a natural fit within the AHF,” said Tony Zasowski, League Commissioner of the Atlantic Hockey Federation. “We’re pleased to welcome their teams and look forward to
seeing them compete alongside our member clubs. As the Genesis community steps into this
next chapter, we’re committed to delivering a league experience that supports both players
and families throughout the season.”
