Tier 1 - Registration

Tier 1 is an upper skill level division within D9 Ice Hockey League. This division is suitable for players who graduated from the league once their skill level progressed past the upper threshold for the traditional D9 league. This division is also suitable for players who grew up playing a lot of hockey, but who may not be able to keep up in most higher division leagues in the metro NYC area. This division is not suitable for players who played high level college, club, pro, or semi-pro hockey.

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

The D9 Tier 1 Fall 2025 season will be played at Abe Stark Sports Center (1902 W 19th St., Brooklyn, NY 11214), beginning August 17th, 2025 through December 21st, 2025.

Due to not enough registrations to form a four team league, the D9 Tier 1 2025 Fall Season will be 1 game on Sunday nights. Game start times will vary between 6PM and 8PM. Schedule is posted on the website.

There will be no set teams. Players will be mixed weekly to form the two most even teams possible based on RSVPs for that week. The Deputy Commissioner will monitor RSVPs, assign players to white and dark, fill in enough subs to make sure there are at least 13 skaters per side if necessary.

All RSVPs for players and subs will be managed through BenchApp. You will receive an invitation to join the BenchApp for these games once your registration is received and approved.

More than an open scrimmage, less than a full league. 

90 minute ice time. 

Referee and scorekeeper for the game.
