Neutral Zone is proud to announce Neutral Zone Prep, a free, state-of-the-art website dedicated to coverage of New England prep school hockey. Neutral Zone Prep will provide free rosters, free schedules, free stats, free box scores, free standings, free game recaps and free team pages, accessible by all players, families, fans and pro scouts.
The site, designed to promote New England prep school hockey, will allow both schools and players to gain even more exposure. Schools will be able to showcase their recent alumni as well as NCAA commitments, while college and junior coaches will now have easier access to players.
“The tradition and quality of prep hockey in New England is really unmatched,” said Steve Wilk, president of Neutral Zone. “Playing for your school in front of your campus, community and classmates makes for a great experience. We are excited to be able to support and promote these student-athletes and schools.”
NEPSHIA coaches voted to use Neutral Zone prep via an online vote on Nov. 8. The website launched on Tuesday and can be found at nzprephockey.com. Follow NZ Prep Hockey on Twitter @NZPrepHockey and on Instagram @NZPrepHockey.
