The Niagara Coaching Staff is always looking to hear from potential future Purple Eagles.

Typically, most players hail from Junior (A &B), or Prep School teams. The ideal recruit is not only a leader on the ice but also a dedicated student looking to obtain a degree from Niagara while continuing their hockey career. The Purple Eagles have  players from the EJHL, OPJHL, GHJHL, and other top Junior Programs in the United States and Canada.

Typically, each season, there are 2-4 spots held for walk on tryouts in addition to each seasons recruiting class

We make every effort to walk recruits through the admission process, class selection, and answer any questions they may have about the University as well as the Purple Eagle hockey program. Since there are no athletic scholarships for the ACHA team the coaching staff will put you in contact with admissions to apply for merit based or service based scholarships should you qualify.

Niagara has had players from all over North America and Canada be a part of the Purple Eagle tradition.
