26-27 Northeast Pack Hockey League Schedules Released!
The Northeast Pack Hockey League is excited to announce the release of the 2026-2027 season schedule for the first two showcases to start the season. The NE Pack season will get underway in Utica, NY (October 2-4, 2026) and then the Pack heads west to Chicago, IL (October 16-18, 2026) two weekends later.
The upcoming season promises to be one of the most competitive and exciting in league history. With the addition of the Chicago Mission and Reapers Hockey Association, the Northeast Pack Hockey League continues to raise the bar for elite youth hockey, bringing together top teams in the country in a league built around competition, development and exposure.
The 26-27 season will feature 32 teams across the 14U-18U divisions, with eight teams competing at each age level. The league has also added the 13O division (8 teams), further expanding the Northeast Pack platform and creating more opportunities for elite players to compete against top-level competition.
"We are extremely excited about the 26-27 NE Pack season," said Northeast Pack Hockey League Commissioner Mark Mobus. "The level of competition in this league continues to rise and we believe this will be one of the strongest in terms of competition across each age level. One of the things we wanted to do this year was release the first two event schedules as early as possible. We want every NE Pack event to be a first-class experience for our players, families, organizations and scouts who attend. When you combine the level of talent in our league with the way our events are organized and presented, it creates an outstanding platform for players to compete, develop and showcase themselves at a very high level. There is a tremendous amount of excitement surrounding the 26-27 season with our member organizations and we can't wait to get started."
At the Chicago Showcase on October 16-18, 2026, our member team Mount St. Charles at 18U is unable to participate and we are pleased to welcome Gilmour Academy Prep to the event, filling that 18U spot and ensuring another high-level matchup opportunity for the leagues teams and players. The 13O (2013) division kicks off their NE Pack season in Chicago which is the first of three events for that age level.
The Northeast Pack Hockey League's continued focus is on elite competition, player development and advancement, with member organizations consistently producing players who advance to the USHL, OHL, Tier 2 Junior Hockey, NCAA and professional hockey.
