Sanction #ILH2526262
NGHL Hockey is excited to be returning to Chicago to host its NGHL Championship, Blue Division! This championship weekend is undoubtedly the highlight of the season. Teams will skate out of Darien Sportplex and Seven Bridges. All NGHL events are USAH sanctioned.
Darien is a city in DuPage County, Illinois, and a suburb of Chicago. It's located 18 miles west of Chicago, just north of I-55 and Historic U.S. Route 66. Chicago has always been a city of neighborhoods. It is home to a rich tapestry of more than 77 unique community areas, each with its own distinct vibe, restaurants, boutiques, museums, and friendly locals. Discover why Condé Nast Traveler readers voted Chicago the Best Big City in the country for a historic seventh year in a row.
All NGHL events are USAH-sanctioned.
All teams must be prepared to play from 7:00 am on Saturday through to 4 pm on Monday. Scheduling requests should be submitted a minimum of 1 month in advance. Email info@nghlhockey.com.
