Reapers Hockey believes that all children should have the opportunity to experience hockey in a safe and fun manner. We teach every child how to improve their game. We teach our players and coaches the values of dedication, perseverance, tolerance, sportsmanship and teamwork while competing on the ice. All children are welcome to play on our Hockey Teams. Reapers Hockey was created in 2015. We created this program to make sure players had a place to learn, develop, and be a part of a team. Our program stands by the statement "Hockey is for everyone."
We Fight Against Cancer
In April 2021, our family received the devastating news that my dad, Donald, had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After a courageous 16-month battle, he passed away on August 14, 2022, at the age of 58. Each season, we dedicate our efforts to him, honoring his memory by wearing his name and ribbon on our sleeves. As a club, we proudly support the Lustgarten Foundation in the fight against pancreatic cancer, and we remain hopeful that one day this disease will be defeated.
Donald spent his life serving others — in the U.S. Navy, as a Bergen County Sheriff’s Officer, as a youth coach, and as a dedicated community volunteer. He believed deeply that every child, no matter their skill level, deserved the chance to play.
