NRI Hockey
Welcome to NRI Hockey — Rhode Island's 40+ adult recreational ice hockey league.
About Our League
Founded in 1980 by Commissioner Chris ReCasino, our league has been providing a welcoming environment for hockey enthusiasts over 45 for more than four decades. We believe that age is just a number when it comes to the love of the game, and we're dedicated to giving players the opportunity to continue enjoying the sport they're passionate about in a fun and competitive setting.
This is a recreational league designed for those looking for an enjoyable night of good old-fashioned hockey. We maintain a respectful, safe playing environment as a non-checking, non-slap shot league, ensuring that players can focus on skill, teamwork, and the pure joy of the game.
