Welcome! Golden State Elite Hockey is a youth tier ice hockey program for Northern California players from 12U to 18U.  We are the top performing tier program in the state and we have been ranked in the top 20 AA clubs in the US by Culturama.

Our rinks are in Cupertino, San Francisco, and Vacaville. 

Last season was greatly affected by COVID-19. We managed to create some sort of season for our members, but it was limited.  We had two teams make the State playoffs and one of those teams went to the finals.  We are looking forward to returning to something resembling normal in the Fall.

This season is GSE's 10yr anniversary and this is our official logo for this season.

It's Girls Hockey Weekend and what better time to announce that GSE is starting its own Girls Program. See our new Girls page and sign-up if you are interested.

After the 2nd CAHA pre-season weekend, the following teams have clinched a spot in the final Top 12 teams for CAHA's AA regular season league:

There is one more pre-season weekend for our teams to earn a spot in the top 4 or play-in positions.

Our 15O AAA team won The Cube Labor Day Tournament. They beat our own 16 North team, 6-2. This makes our 16 North team the finalists at the tournament.  Larry Cahn coaches both teams and he chose to sit in the bleachers and not have to make a choice between which bench man.

Our 14 South team won the Anaheim Rinks' Summer Escape Tournament. They beat the Jr Sharks in the final game, 4-1.

The results from the tournament are:

• Beat OC, 3-0
• Beat the California Wave-2, 4-1
• Tied the Jr Ducks-1, 1-1
• Beat the California Wave-2, 3-1 in the Simis
• Beat the Jr Sharks, 4-1 in the Finals

We have a single opening on our 15O AAA team for the right Forward or Defense player that can play at the AAA level. 

This is your chance to play AAA with high-end players, a tier 1 coach, and play in high-end tournaments.

Practices are in Vacaville. Player must be a 2006 birth year - no exceptions. Please contact the head coach, Larry Cahn, at coachcahn@yahoo.com
