“I am so excited for the return of the Empire State Games. My memories from the Games are still vivid as I relished competing against the best athletes in New York. I encourage everyone to join me in celebrating the Empire State Games so we can give another generation of young athletes an opportunity to play, a reason to train hard, and a chance to dream big.”
 

Stephen Gionta

“I played in the Empire State Games, and I loved it. It was one of the most memorable moments of my young hockey career. To play against the best in the state, to play for my region, to play for a gold medal – nothing compares. I hope all alumni join me in lending their voice and helping to bring back the Empire State Games.”

Summer Games Return in 2014

While preparing for the relaunch of the ESG Summer Games, we found out that NY's corporate partners have been giving any extra funds to Hurricane Sandy relief, leaving little room to support other worthy causes.
 
We at the Foundation believe that this is a responsible decision of the corporate partners, and in supporting that decision we have decided to postpone the relaunch of the Summer Games until 2014.
 
Rochester remains fully prepared to host the Games in 2014. We will take full advantage of the next 18 months to ensure that the Games are world class.
