North Park 2009 selected for USA Hockey National 15 Camp

North Park 2009 player Annette Zuck was selected to the USA Hockey Girls National 15 Camp held last week in Oxford, Ohio. The National Girls Camp featured 216 players from the 2009 birth year (120  Forwards, 72 Defense, and 24 Goalies) - this means that Annette was selected as one of the top 2009 goalies in the entire country!

During Annette's career at North Park she was a vital asset to her team serving as the goalie during her Peewee season in 2022, which culminated in a runner-up finish in the NY State Hockey Championship. During her Bantam Minor year in 2022-2023 she helped lead the team to an EJEPL Championship - narrowly missing out on another New York State Championship tournament after losing in a seven round shootout in the NY East sectional final. Annette and our North Park Bantams finished their 2023 season in truly outstanding form.

The selection of Annette to USA Hockey Girls National 15 Camp is a springboard for our growing girls program. We will feature an-all girls team at the 10U age group (2014 and 2015 birth year girls) that will compete around the NYC area. We hope to see many of our girls in future years representing North Park and the USA proudly just like Annette!

North Park 2010 Players Selected for USA Hockey Development Main Camp

North Park 2010 players Matthew Cernan and Gavin Pasic were selected for the USA Hockey Development Camp after several rounds of tryouts at the Regional and District level with over 600 total players competing for spots. Matthew was chosen for the New York State Development Main Camp in Oswego, NY and Gavin was chosen for the Atlantic District Main Camp in West Chester, PA. Both players stood out with Gavin (wearing North Park pants) scoring 2 goals and adding an assist, while Matthew posted a shutout in one of the games he played during the duration of the camp. The Main camps consist of approximately 80 total selected players (meaning they are identified as one of the top goalies and top players in NY State and the Atlantic district, respectively). USA Hockey uses these camps as a way to identify players who are ultimately chosen for the US National Team Development Program (USNTDP) at 18U (the top 20 players in the country - many of whom are drafted to the NHL and represent USA at the World Championships)

The 2010 North Park birth year was an extremely talented class of players, with the Peewee season culminating in a runner-up finish in the NY State Hockey Championship. The selection of our two players for the USA Hockey Camps is further validation of the overall goals and basis for the NYC Hockey Club, North Park and NYC Skyliners pyramid of development.

Another 2007 Reunion Victory!

The North Park ’07 team got together for another reunion, competing together as a team at Dunlop’s Cup outside of Philadelphia June 21-23rd. Just like last year, the boys prevailed, winning the AAA 18U division.

Building on the amazing experience of 2023, fourteen former players returned to play together once again. The tournament featured a competitive slate of games with many top players from the mid-Atlantic region participating. The North Park ‘07’s went 1-1-1 in the preliminary rounds with all three games close and hard fought. However, in the playoffs the team hit their stride with a 6-0 shutout win in the Semifinals and a dominant 6-2 performance in the Finals. Congrats to the North Park ’07 players, coaches Marcello Deangelis and Miro Pasic and a special thanks to Jeanine Salvatore for coordinating the weekend.

The North Park ‘07’s were joined by the 2011 13O New York City Hockey Club (playing as the Gotham Knights) at the tournament. The ‘07’s appreciate the support from the 2011 players and parents who cheered the team on at a number of their games.

The boys already have plans to defend their 18U title in 2025.  We encourage additional birth years to join the reunion fun!

USHL DRAFTS NORTH PARK ALUM

Congratulations to Aidan Pasic (2007) on his recent draft selection by the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the USHL, the top "junior" ice hockey league sanctioned by USA Hockey.  The 6'1" 165 lb forward played the first eight seasons of his youth hockey career with North Park prior to moving to the Tier I AAA level in addition to competing for the Delbarton School.

As leading scorer, Pasic anchored the talent-heavy 2007 birth year, which went on to win 3 HVHL Championships, including North Park's first-ever HVHL title in 2017. This group also qualified as the top seed for the 2020 Tier III NYS Championship in Buffalo, a tournament canceled due to COVID-19. 

Pasic was also celebrated as a 2019-'20 Tom Hynes Award winner. Best of luck on your hockey journey!
