Fan Section

The Yellow Rage fan section started as a hashtag by the school’s Varsity hockey team in 2014. The name derived from the school colors of blue and gold, as well as the gold jerseys the team started wearing. The hashtag became more popular in the 2015-‘16 season when the team gained more of a following on social media. During that season, the team hosted a #YellowRage game and made t-shirts for the student section to wear. The game was also used for a NYSPHSAA Battle of the Fans (New York State Public High School Athletic Association) video. The game included several other sports teams and the school’s pep band in attendance.

During the 2016-‘17 hockey season, the fan section took off, going to more sporting events than hockey. The founders of this fan section are Ryan Kinney, Malik Leverette, Dexter Griffin and Jackson Krebs. The fan section grew substantially during this season due to different themes and promoting sporting events on social media. A Twitter page was started for the fan section so students could follow along and know when the next event would be. The fan section was built on the motto, “Be Loud, Be Proud, Be Positive.” During the season, the fan section created a new logo and shirts for the fans to wear for games. The fan section also had the school mascot at games and had different signs they held up during games. The fan section also competed again in the NYSPHSAA Battle of the Fans competition. The fan section also held their annual “Yellow Rage” game during a rivalry hockey game between They also held a dodgeball tournament to help create events for students to get involved in.
