NYCHC 2011 AAA WIN COLUMBUS DAY SHOOT-OUT

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!

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!
