Tier 2 - Registration

Tier 2 is a lower skill level division within D9 Ice Hockey League. This division is an adult, co-ed, recreational, competitive ice hockey league that is designed for beginner and intermediate players and those who are too old, slow, and injured to compete at the lowest division levels of most adult hockey leagues around NYC. Those brand new to hockey or who have been attending learn to play clinics and are ready to join a team and play games, D9 Tier 2 is the league for you.

If you are able to skate with the players in any of the adult house leagues around NYC and score regularly or at will, this league is NOT for you.

This is an adult, co-rec league for players 18 years and older.
