The LESA Difference: What sets us apart.

A New Era of Hockey Excellence in Erie

Welcome to a groundbreaking partnership in youth sports, where Lake Erie Sports Alliance (L.E.S.A.) and LECOM Sports Park redefine hockey programming in the Erie region. This unique collaboration marks a significant investment in the future of hockey. 


LECOM Sports Park and L.E.S.A. are proud to collaborate on a USA Hockey program that combines  hockey development with community-driven initiatives.


Under the leadership of Chris Hartsburg, Director of Hockey and Coaching Development, LECOM Sports Park provides exceptional USA Hockey programming, coaching, and guidance. As the proud sponsor of the USA Hockey charter, L.E.S.A. supports team rostering for LECOM Sports Park participants, including the Mercyhurst Jr. Lakers and Lake Monsters.


Through L.E.S.A., teams have the unique opportunity to engage in fundraising, volunteer efforts, and community service, while also benefiting from scholarship programs for participants in need.


This partnership brings together the best of both worlds: hockey experts delivering outstanding hockey programming and public charity professionals enriching the community through meaningful support and outreach.

Professional Leadership

The primary objective of the Director of Hockey and Coaching Development is to ensure the development of EVERY individual at our ice rink.


 Our focus isn't solely on teams; it's about ensuring that every person who enters LECOM Sports Park feels valued, and their player's progress is of utmost importance.

L.E.S.A.'s Role. Providing Equitable Opportunities

L.E.S.A.'s role transcends traditional sports programming by focusing our efforts on the philanthropic efforts to expand access to ice sports in Erie. 


We serve as a checks and balances entity to ensure that LECOM Sports Park maintains the highest level of service in accordance with the standards established by licensing with USA Hockey and USA Learn to Skate. 


L.E.S.A. is committed to fairness and inclusivity, offering scholarships and fundraising support to ensure that all aspiring athletes have the opportunity to participate, regardless of their financial background.

Direct Access and Support

Understanding the importance of clear communication and support, all programming inquiries, payments, and concerns are directly managed by the LECOM Sports Park Director of Hockey and their professional team. 


The L.E.S.A. team will be on hand to help you design and execute fundraising and outreach opportunities! 


This streamlined approach not only enhances customer service but also ensures that participants and their families have a reliable point of contact for all their needs.

Community and Philanthropy

The Lake Erie Sports Alliance Board plays a vital role in our ecosystem, offering guidance and resources to families within the program. Our commitment to community engagement and philanthropy is unwavering, as we strive to make hockey accessible to everyone in Erie and foster a culture of giving back.

Join the Revolution in Youth Hockey
