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.
