NGHL FUTURES CHAMPIONSHIP
February 6-8, 2026
While Nationals don’t exist at 10U & 12U, our Futures Championship is a great platform to offer an end-of-season event - something for the younger teams to “play for” during their season and look forward to.
We're thrilled to celebrate our youngest NGHL community with the NGHL Futures Championships (10U/12U) this year in Connecticut. This event has a 5-game guarantee in a Round Robin format with Finals. All NGHL events are USAH-sanctioned.
All teams must be prepared to play from 8:00 am on Friday through to 4:00 pm on Sunday. Scheduling requests should be submitted a minimum of 1 month in advance. Email info@nghlhockey.com.
