The Nassau County Lions Hockey Program proudly celebrates its 60th anniversary, marking six decades of excellence, community, and commitment to youth development. Operating under the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Museums, the program has built a distinguished reputation for delivering high-quality hockey programming that serves not only to develop athletic skill, but to shape character, teamwork, and leadership in young athletes.

At its core, the Nassau County Lions are dedicated to becoming the premier hockey program in the nation—fostering an environment where innovation, integrity, and excellence guide every aspect of the organization. With a strong emphasis on mentorship and personal growth, the program strives to develop not just first-class athletes, but first-class citizens whose experiences on the ice will benefit them throughout their lives.

The Lions’ partnership with the Theodore Roosevelt Association adds a powerful historical and symbolic dimension to this mission. Theodore Roosevelt—affectionately known as “The Old Lion”—was a lifelong champion of youth development, physical fitness, and amateur sports. This collaboration pays tribute to Roosevelt’s enduring belief in the value of vigorous activity and character-building competition, ideals that continue to define the Nassau County Lions today.

As they honor their past and look toward the future, the Nassau County Lions remain committed to excellence as a way of life—empowering young people, strengthening community ties, and carrying forward a proud legacy inspired by one of America’s most dynamic leaders.
