Congratulations to the following players on being named to the Nassau County Lions 18U AA team for the 2024-2025 travel hockey season.
Congratulations to the players listed above on being selected to their respective teams for the Nassau County Lions 2024-2025 Travel Hockey Season. Stay tuned for information in the coming weeks on uniform sizing and practice schedules.
Despite falling to their eventual finals opponent at the 2024 Hershey President's Day Tournament in the semifinals, the 10UA Lions stormed back and defeated the Reston Raiders 4-1 in the finals to capture the championship and add another trophy to the lobby at Cantiague Park.
The mysterious parcels that arrived a few weeks ago at Cantiague Park have been unveiled. The program's new four-sided center ice scoreboard will hang at center ice for all to enjoy for years to come.
The 12UAA and 14UA Lions are wrapping up their season in style, traveling up north to the Winter Olympic Village in Lake Placid, New York, playing in the CAN/AM Challenge Cup Tournament. Players participated in the opening ceremonies on-site where the 1980 Lake Placid Olympic Winter Games were held, on the same ice surface where Team USA captured the Gold Medal during its "Miracle on Ice" run. Best of luck to all the Lions players in creating memories that will last a lifetime.

On February 25th, the Nassau County Lions introduced the first ever “Pride of the Lions” Award, an honor given to players who have spent their entire youth hockey career (8u-18u) as a member of the Nassau County Lions.
The inaugural award was presented to 18u co-captains Miles Hochman and John Dunn, both of whom began their respective travel hockey careers back in 2011 as 8U players.
In addition to this, Miles and John were presented with a citation recognizing their achievement from Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.
Pictured here are the Hochman family, the Dunn family, Nassau County Director of Hockey Mark LaMarr, Nassau Lions President Scott Gerstner, Administrator Eric C. Peck, bookended by the boys' first coach Rob Hoppe and last coach Ian Clugston.
The weather was crisp and the greens were smooth as the Nassau County Lions made a return to Hauppauge's Wind Watch Golf & Country Club for the program's 2023 Golf Outing. More than 100 golfers hit the greens for the 7:30am shotgun start and enjoyed a day on one of the Island's finest courses, competing for a good cause with all proceeds benefiting the Nassau County Lions Hockey program.
Golf was followed by a luncheon in the spacious Windwatch Restaurant, as raffle winners were selected and prizes distributed to many in attendance.
Many thanks to the volunteers who donated their time for the day and made the event run smoothly from start to finish. Many thanks as well to the many sponsors for their generous support of the event.
Nassau County Hockey's Mission and Vision
The Nassau County Hockey Program operates under the auspices of the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Museums and exists to serve the interests of the residents of Nassau County. Over the last quarter century, we have built a strong tradition of quality hockey programming. Our staff has brought us to the respected position we now hold in the hockey community. We are proud of that heritage and are committed to achieving even greater success.
Our Mission Is To Become The Best Hockey Program In The Nation
By the best, we mean a rapidly growing organization that provides innovative programming of the highest caliber for the youth of Nassau County. Our goals go far beyond merely developing the athletic ability of our participants. We want to help develop the character and interpersonal skills of each of our boys and girls in such a way that participation in one of the Nassau County Hockey Programs will benefit them long past the time when they hang up their skates. Our aim is to develop first-class citizens for our county, as well as first-class athletes for our hockey teams.
People Are Our Most Important Asset

Excellence Must Become A Way Of Life

We believe that if we live and work by these values, we will establish Nassau County as the premier hockey program in the United States of America.
