NORTH PARK 2013AA SECURES 2ND PLACE AT THE 2024 UTICA COMETS CUP

In their first tournament of the season, the North Park 2013AA team went 4-1 and finished 2nd Place this past weekend in Utica. Following a stellar 3-0 round-robin performance, Coach Chelsea Harris led the team to the championship game, where they suffered their only loss of the weekend. On the tournament's opening day, the team squeaked out a 1-0 win on a clutch third-period goal against the Delco Phantoms and followed it up with a resounding 8-2 win against the PAL Sound Tigers. The team closed out the round-robin round with another shutout victory against the Webster Cyclones. In the semifinals, the team had to get past a PAL Sound Tigers team hungry for revenge. After an intense and tight start to the game, the team broke through late in the first period and rode another masterful goaltending performance to a 5-1 win and a spot in the championship game. Though the team eventually lost to the top team in the division, the NY Dynamo Platinum, it was a great weekend of hockey for this resilient group. The boys were able to bond on and off the ice, and the teamwork the group displayed throughout the tournament should be a harbinger of a fantastic season ahead!

NORTH PARK 2014A TAKES SECOND PLACE AT UTICA COMETS CUP

The NP 2014A squirt team attended its first tournament of the year in Utica, NY over Veterans Day weekend November 8th-10th. Facing stiff competition from Upstate and Western New York, the 2014As performed admirably, taking home second place and good momentum heading into the Holidays.

Facing the eventual champion from Buffalo, and with only eight skaters in the early Friday game, Coach Clayton's bunch rallied from 5-1 to make it 5-3 in the third period. Maintaining strong offensive zone pressure within the last five minutes, they pulled the goalie hoping to make it closer. However a tough bounce led to an empty net goal and a 6-3 defeat. The effort though set the tone for the weekend. With reinforcements arriving Friday night and Saturday morning, the team won its next three games, including an exhilarating 3-2 overtime win in the semi-finals Sunday morning; having been down 2-0, they tied the game late in the third and won it in OT with 20 seconds left. Facing Buffalo again in the final Sunday afternoon, the team fought hard to tie it at 2-2 in the second period, but eventually lost 6-2 to the skilled team from the shores of Lake Erie.

Thanks to all players, parents, and coaches for making it a great weekend in Utica!

The 2011 New York City Hockey Club Bantams were crowned champions at the Columbus Day Shoot-Out in New Hampshire this past weekend. After falling short 3-2 to the 95 Giants in their first game, they rallied, winning the rest of their 5 games including a re-match with the 95 Giants in the semi-finals. They shut out Islanders Hockey Club 3-0 in the finals to clinch the trophy. Coaches Elvis Tominovic and Dan Levine were happy to see all players contributing to the wins. The boys really came together as a team this tournament with lots of hard work paying off on both offense and defense, with an impressive power play all weekend and backstopped by some outstanding goaltending.

NP 2012A Places 2nd at Congressional Cup

The North Park 2012U A team came home with silver medals from the MyHockey Tournaments Congressional Cup 2024 which took place in Washington DC over the weekend. In jeopardy of going to the tournament shorthanded, the 2012U A team was able to add a few North Park squirts and younger peewees to the roster to have 10 skaters. After a tough opening loss and despite not having played together as a group previously, the various aged North Park players were able to mesh quickly and play well enough to advance to the final where they fell to the deeper eventual champs in the 5th and final game of the weekend. It was a great experience for the younger players to play up in age and for all to go deep into the tourney and come home with medals.

North Park 2015A wins Silver medal

The 2015 A team wrapped up its first tournament of the season at the Congressional Cup in Washington, D.C. They placed 2nd overall - bringing home the silver medal! A huge come from behind 2-1 victory against the Palisades Predators helped secure a trip to the finals. 

In just one month of practicing together, this incredible team has demonstrated the true meaning of teamwork and camaraderie. They played hard both on and off the ice, supporting each other every step of the way.

The Washington Capitals welcomed the team Saturday night at their home opener which was a memorable experience.

Huge thank you to our coaches, families, and fans for all the support!

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!
