The Rochester Jr. Americans—formerly known as the Rochester Monarchs & Perinton Youth Hockey—have a long tradition of developing hockey players who go on to succeed at the next level. From high school to prep school, juniors to college, and even the professional ranks, our alumni have followed many different paths in pursuit of their hockey goals.
While every player’s journey is unique, the foundation is often the same: years of growth, development, and support within the Jr. Amerks program. Whether playing locally or traveling nationally, our athletes gain the skills, discipline, and character needed to compete at the highest levels of the game. We’re proud of the many players who have come through our program and advanced to NCAA hockey, junior leagues, and beyond.
