Guilford Conn., – It’s almost that time of the year again, our first event of the ECEL Fall Classic will take place from September 20-22, 2024 in Dix Hills, New York.
This year’s event will take place at Clark Gillies Arena in Dix Hills, NY which offers a state-of-the-art arenas, with two full-sized NHL ice rinks, year round skating facility, with all amenities. This includes a pro shop that stocks a wide variety of equipment and supplies, ranging from laces to skate sharpening. The building, which sits amidst 150 acres of spectacular parkland, is designed in the manner of a ski lodge, open and airy, with sloped ceilings and a rustic feel and look.
The East Coast Elite League Fall Classic will feature 12 teams playing across two different age groups at the U18 level and U16 level. The upcoming fall classic will be the first event for five new members that have joined our league during the offseason. New members include the New Hampshire Mountain Kings, Cheektowaga Warriors, NY Saints, CT Jr Rangers and LI Rebels that will join the ECEL.
This Fall Classic will feature some high profile matchups at the 18U and 16U match ups throughout the weekend, including our 2024 18U champions, Ontario Hockey Academy and 16U champions, Atlanta Fire. Both programs have reloaded and look to go back to back after last year titles, so it will be essential to get off to a good start for both teams if they want to compete for that spot.
Throughout the weekend, we will be streaming all games live on LiveBarn.com and highlights will also be featured on our website, Instagram page and Twitter handles. We cannot wait to get back in action and see the teams start their journey to hoist the ECEL Cup in 2025!
