WE ARE THE NORTHPORT HUNTINGTON ICE HOCKEY CLUB, NHIHC. WE ARE A NON-PROFIT CLUB ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENT ATHLETES TO PLAY HIGH SCHOOL ICE HOCKEY. WE OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS FROM THE NORTHPORT/EAST NORTHPORT, HARBORFIELDS AND HUNTINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SUFFOLK COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY LEAGUE (SCHSHL).

THE SCHSHL IS A COMPETITVE LEAGUE WITH THREE DIVISIONS. THERE IS A VARSITY, JUNIOR VARSITY AND A FRESHMAN DIVISION.
