2024 Slager Cup Honorees

As a volunteer-led not-for-profit, North Park has been a continuous work in progress since 1987.  

A key point in North Park's development came nearly 15 seasons ago when a successful 14U Bantams offering was added to the program.  In 2013, the North Park Board of Directors decided to honor all players who had completed their entire travel hockey journey with North Park starting with 8U Mites to 10U Squirts, then 12U PeeWees, then through the new 14U Bantams.  

The result?  The Slager Cup.  Like the Stanley Cup, the Slager Cup contains the engraved names of all the honorees, who then share the Cup between them for the year before passing it back for the next generation.  You can read more about Gregg + Sue Slager's voluneer efforts and the Slager Cup here:

With the 2024 incorporation of NYC Hockey Club + NYC Skyliners, we now include all their years of continuous past membership within the broader North Park Hockey Association, Inc.  As the organization grows and the names of more "lifers" are added after 14U, we're going to need a bigger Slager Cup with added bands at the bottom!  

Congratulations to our 2024 honorees and good luck with your journey into 16U and beyond.
