The New England Huskies Junior Hockey Club is a non-profit 501©3 organization which chartered in 1995 as the Tyngsboro Huskies as a charter member of the Eastern Junior Hockey League. We have been in continuous operation as a junior hockey club for over 30 years having competed previously as the highly successful Wallace Wallopers in the original NEJHL and as the Lowell Lock Monsters in the EJHL. We are now very proud to be back in black and gold putting a bite on junior hockey with our original name "HUSKIES".

The purpose of the program is to provide a vehicle for athletes to develop as hockey players and to use these gifts to further their educational careers. We expect our players to understand the words responsibility, commitment and achievement. We prepare our players for the long-term future as productive citizens while constantly reminding them to give the game of hockey its due respect for lessons learned.

The team's players are mainly drawn from local towns, but our roster has included players from such outreaches as Alaska, California, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, North Carolina, Canada and numerous European countries. Our player alumni list includes professional hockey players as well as professional and corporate businessmen and spans 4 decades (70's, 80's, 90's, 00's).

All of the Junior Huskies must be in school and/or work and are required to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) tutorial classes that are provided by the organization.
