The wait is over.

The first weekend of the 2025–26 Tier 1 Hockey Federation Playoffs has arrived, and 13U–18U teams are set to battle for a chance to raise a championship banner.

Championship hockey takes center stage this weekend across four New Jersey venues:

• Bridgewater Sports Arena
• Ice Vault Arena
• Skylands Ice World
• Sportscare Arena

Every shift now carries weight. Every game brings urgency. After a full regular season of competition, development, and positioning, the postseason begins with one mission in mind — survive and advance.

From the skill and speed of the 13U division to the high-intensity matchups at 18U, fans can expect elite competition across all age groups. Momentum built throughout the year will be tested under playoff pressure, and teams will need depth, discipline, and resilience to continue their championship run.
