The NUGS Hockey Club is the top Pre/Post hockey program for high school age players from southwest Ohio.

Led by the experienced coaches Tony Morris (University of Dayton Head Coach) and Lee McClure (Former Pro Hockey Player & Skill Coordinator), the NUGS offer players the opportunity to train under high-level instruction through a proven and modern development model. Practices are fast-paced and built around innovative drills and competitive games designed to build complete hockey players—moving beyond outdated methods to foster skills that translate directly into game performance.

The NUGS plan to field teams at both the 18U and 16U A/AA levels. These teams will compete from early August through late October, with an extended season for national bound teams. The 18U and 16U national bound teams will vie for the Mid-Am District Championship, with the goal of earning a spot at the USA Hockey Tier II National Championships in April.
