NCDC Division Matchups

Atlantic Division
Rockets Hockey Club at West Chester Wolves – Saturday, Dec. 13: Rockets Hockey Club enters the weekend leading the Atlantic with 35 points, and a road matchup against West Chester gives them a chance to further separate from the pack.

Mountain Division
Utah Outliers at Pueblo Bulls – Friday & Saturday, Dec. 12–13: Both teams are tied with 21 points, making this head-to-head series the most impactful matchup in the Mountain Division this weekend.

New England Central
Boston Junior Bruins at Utica Jr. Comets – Friday, Dec. 12: Utica leads the division with 40 points, while Boston Junior Bruins are tied for second at 33. This matchup directly impacts the top of the standings, as a Bruins win tightens the race, while a Comets victory would reinforce Utica’s control of the division.

New England East
CT Chiefs North at South Shore Kings – Saturday, Dec. 13: South Shore Kings sit atop the East with 47 points and continue to set the pace. CT Chiefs North faces a tough test on the road, and this game carries weight in determining whether South Shore can maintain its commanding lead.
