About The Program

The Watchung Hills Ice Hockey program has continuously grown over the past 21 seasons. The program was established in 2001 and has helped groom several student-athletes into respectable young men and women. The program has been to the NJSIAA State Quarterfinals 4 times and the State Championship twice since being established. Furthermore, the program has captured 1 Van Cott Cup Championship, 1 Essex County Holiday Tournament Championship, and 1 Varsity Classic Championship. The program currently has a Varsity and JV program with more than 40 student-athletes involved in the program. 

 

Entering the program's 22nd season, the Varsity team is looking to build off of the success they found late in last year's season run to the State Playoffs. The Warriors will look to use their experience and depth to their advantage this season in their goal to capture a Skyland Cup Championship and a State Championship.  

 

The JV team enters the year ready to compete and continue to grow from the progress made over the last few seasons.
