Tier 2 - Summer 2026 Registration
THIS SEASON IS FULL. YOU MAY STILL REGISTER AS A SKATER OR GOALIE SUB. USE THE REGISTRATION LINKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
The D9 Tier 2 Summer 2026 season will be played at Abe Stark Sports Center (1902 W 19th St., Brooklyn, NY 11214), beginning June 8th, 2026 through August 31st, 2026. Games will be played on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday nights.
