2025 FALL FESTIVAL

We’re celebrating hockey, teamwork, and community this week with fun events and special guests — including the visiting Czech Vikings, one of Europe’s elite Tier I tournament programs, and former NHL goalie Nolan Schaefer.

The Fall Festival kicked off with the Mites Messier Cup Jamboree, bringing our youngest players together for an exciting day of fun and friendly competition.


In the coming days, the Czech Vikings coaches are joining North Park and NYC Hockey Club teams for clinics, station-based training, and international matchups — all are welcome to come cheer!

From goalie sessions to skill-building clinics and international games with our Czech guests, it’s shaping up to be an incredible celebration of hockey and community. Let’s give our visitors a warm welcome to New York City!

NYC Hockey Club Welcomes Guest Coach Tom Keough

We are excited to announce that the New York City Hockey Club teams have just wrapped up a successful training camp! The teams had a fantastic end to their boot camp, and to top it off, the were honored to welcome a very special guest.

Coach Tom Keough, Varsity Head Coach at St. Peter’s Prep in Jersey City, NJ, joined our 2012 and 2013 AAA practice to run drills and evaluate our players. With his experience coaching in one of the top high school leagues in the Northeast and having mentored players now in NCAA D1, D3, and even NHL prospects like John Mustard, Coach Keough’s visit was an incredible opportunity for our players.

We are thrilled to be expanding our connections with high school and prep school coaches in the area and beyond. Strengthening these relationships will give all of our players a solid base of options as they move into their high school years. We plan to announce future details on our growing database of high school coaches in the area looking for NYC Hockey Club, North Park and NYC Skyliner players to join their programs.

Celebrating Our Community's Support

We are pleased to share the wonderful news of our fundraising efforts this year through our Annual Appeal Fundraiser. We would like to acknowledge the incredible generosity of our donors. Thanks to their support, we raised nearly $160,000, which has had a profound impact on our program.

A significant portion of these funds has been dedicated to financial aid, enabling us to support over 50 of our players who might not have had the opportunity to participate otherwise.

Additionally, these funds have allowed us to enhance our programming and offset costs not covered by tuition, ensuring a richer experience for all our players.

We are deeply grateful, and always welcome contributions throughout the year from those who wish to continue supporting our efforts. To make a contribution, please visit: 2025 North Park Annual Appeal

North Park 14U Spring Team Wins Doritos Challenge Cup

North Park’s 14U Spring Team made a lasting impression at the 2025 Doritos Spring Challenge, held May 9-11 in Bridgeport, CT. Fueled by team spirit and sharp skills, North Park dominated the first three games of pool play with a total goal differential of +19 with only 2 total goals against. They secured the number one seed for the semifinals from the field of 10 total participants. The momentum continued in the semifinals as North Park defeated Soundshore Black by the final score of 4-3 paving the way for a thrilling championship showdown against the Jr. Spartans. In a hard-fought final, North Park delivered a masterful comeback win in the final minutes to capture the Doritos Spring Cup with a 4-3 victory on Mother's Day!

NORTH PARK ALUM NAMED ROOKIE OF THE YEAR IN FIRST NCAA SEASON

North Park alumna Alison Giebler began her hockey journey with us as a mite and quickly became a standout player. Her passion for the game continued to grow throughout her youth career, earning selections to the NYSAHA Summer Development Camp from 2017 to 2022 and the USA Hockey Multi-District Camp in 2022.

Alison went on to play four seasons of varsity hockey at Choate Rosemary Hall, where she helped lead her team to back-to-back New England District Championships in 2022–'23 and 2023–'24, and competed at USA Hockey Nationals in both years.

Her strong performance and dedication to both academics and athletics earned her recruitment offers from both Division I and Division III programs. With a focus on pursuing a career in medicine, Alison chose to play for the prestigious Middlebury College Women’s Ice Hockey team. She just completed her first season with the Panthers, where she made an immediate impact – earning the title of “Rookie of the Year” after a fantastic debut.

We’re especially excited to welcome Alison back this coming Wednesday, when she’ll join us as a visiting coach for our 14U/16U Tier II Girls Clinic. We’re proud to celebrate her accomplishments and thrilled that she continues to inspire the next generation of North Park players – on and off the ice!

NYC Hockey Club 2011 AAA takes 2nd Place at Doritos Spring Tournament

In their first tournament together as a team, the NYC Hockey Club 2011 AAA came up just short in the Doritos Tournament Final. After posting three consecutive wins in pool play over CT Oil Kings (3-1), CT Beast (6-0) and Hockey Club Elite (8-2) the team entered the semifinals as the top seed. In the semifinals versus the CT Oil Kings an early contest ended in a blowout 6-0 win for NYCHC. The Mighty Irish (also undefeated) stood in the way for NYCHC in the Championship game.  In a highly competitive back and forth contest the championship was ultimately decided in overtime with the Mighty Irish coming out on top 4-3. 

2024 Slager Cup Honorees

As a volunteer-led not-for-profit, North Park has been a continuous work in progress since 1987.  

A key point in North Park's development came nearly 15 seasons ago when a successful 14U Bantams offering was added to the program.  In 2013, the North Park Board of Directors decided to honor all players who had completed their entire travel hockey journey with North Park starting with 8U Mites to 10U Squirts, then 12U PeeWees, then through the new 14U Bantams.  

The result?  The Slager Cup.  Like the Stanley Cup, the Slager Cup contains the engraved names of all the honorees, who then share the Cup between them for the year before passing it back for the next generation.  You can read more about Gregg + Sue Slager's voluneer efforts and the Slager Cup here:  

https://www.northparkhockey.org/about/slager-cup/3365

With the 2024 incorporation of NYC Hockey Club + NYC Skyliners, we now include all their years of continuous past membership within the broader North Park Hockey Association, Inc.  As the organization grows and the names of more "lifers" are added after 14U, we're going to need a bigger Slager Cup with added bands at the bottom!  

Congratulations to our 2024 honorees and good luck with your journey into 16U and beyond.  

North Park Partners With NY Rangers

Twenty-four professional and parent North Park coaches volunteered in late March for the New York Rangers' "12- Hour Hockey Challenge."  One of nine teams gathered, the North Park team enjoyed hockey from before 7:00 am until after 7:00 pm.  

Joining North Park's roster was New York's own Brian Mullen, former NHL All-Star and an NCAA National Champion at Wisconsin.   North Park played with and against Topline's Boo Nieves, Adam Graves, Stephane Matteau, Derek Brassard, Marc Staal, Brian Boyle, Darren Langdon, Colton Orr and Wojtek Wolski.  Led by Coach Robert in goal (all day), North Park went 2-1-2, a nice NYC record.  

The North Park volunteers raised over $22,000 for MSG's "Garden of Dreams" foundation, and the one-day event yielded over $210,000 in total support.  North Park is very thankful to be in position to support our partners, the New York Rangers + MSG, as we work together to build out the New York City hockey ecosystem.
