Saint Peter’s Prep ice hockey competes against the top high school hockey teams in NJ, NY, CT, and PA.  Prep is a member of the prestigious Gordon Conference, NJ’s top high school hockey conference, which has a number of alumni in the National Hockey League, including former Prep player Kyle Palmieri. The team plays out of the The Rink in East Rutherford, located inside the American Dream shopping mall.

Prep hockey began practicing in 1973, sometimes at 4am and 6am, in preparation for becoming Prep’s newest varsity sport in 1974. On February 27th, Prep hockey dropped the puck for the first time, taking on Marist in a Hudson County Interscholastic Hockey Game at Roosevelt Stadium. Mark Ellerson, ‘76 scored the first goal in Prep’s history, and Prep went on to win 5-2, capturing the County Hockey Championship that year.

Prep saw more success in the 1980s, capturing four division championships.

Prep then captured two successive Central Division championships in 2003 and 2004, and made their first ever state final appearance in 2004. 

The following season, Prep joined the prestigious Gordon Conference and made a run to the state final again in 2007.
