Good Afternoon All,

We hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday season. We have a few updates and exciting changes this year that we would like to share.

We have currently been accepted into the OATKA organization. The board feels it’s in our organization’s and children’s best interest at this time to change leagues to OATKA (www.oatkafc.org). We would like to stress that this has not been an easy decision because we have made many friends and fond memories in Empire West as well as many prosperous seasons for Hamburg. A brief overview of what this means for HLL families is that there will be a higher level of competition for football and cheer, there will be a wider variety of teams to play against and more games in our season. There will be a few different rule changes and as soon as we get the rules and bylaws we will post them on our website for all to see.
