The addition of the NA Jr. Hawks to the Elite 9 Girls Hockey League represents a significant advancement for the league's objective of creating the first ever elite-only girls' hockey league in the northeast. Over the past three years, the league has strategically targeted specific geographic regions for its franchises, focusing on organizations and operators with proven track records in those areas. A distinctive feature of the E9 is its commitment to protecting each franchise with a designated geographic radius. This strategic approach is designed to create the most competitive environment for the players.

Led by Director Toni Miano, who owns Eagles Elite and the North American Hockey Academy (NAHA), the Jr. Hawks are poised to play a crucial role in advancing the league's vision. Operating out of Canton Icehouse, the Jr. Hawks will field teams at the U14, U12, and U10 levels. Additionally, their sister program, NAHA Winter Hawks, will be a showcase partner at the U19 and U16 levels in the CPC Prep league.

With the addition of the Jr. Hawks and the collaboration with NAHA Winter Hawks, the balance of power in New England hockey is expected to shift, solidifying the Elite 9 Girls Hockey League as the premier league in the region. The league has already established itself as one of the top girls' hockey leagues on the East Coast, boasting nationally ranked U14 teams (#2 and #16) and multiple teams competing for Massachusetts State titles and National Championships.

Overall, the inclusion of the NA Jr. Hawks strengthens the league's commitment to providing elite-level competition and further establishes its position as a leading force in girls' hockey development in the northeast.

Welcome to the league, North American Jr. Hawks!
