Princeton Junior Tigers Girls
Competitive Girls Travel Hockey in the Greater Princeton Region
The Princeton Junior Tigers Girls Hockey Program (“PJT Girls” or the “Program”) provides competitive travel hockey opportunities for girls in the Greater Princeton region, Central New Jersey, and Eastern Pennsylvania who want to develop their skills, compete at a high level, and be part of a positive and supportive team environment.
The Program is committed to building a long-term girls hockey program in the region, with a structured development pathway supporting players as they progress from youth hockey through high school and beyond.
Confidence Through Hockey
The Princeton Junior Tigers Girls Program develops more than hockey players—it builds confident athletes, strong teammates, and emerging leaders.
Through a supportive and competitive environment, players grow their skills, strengthen their character, and learn the value of teamwork, resilience, and accountability. PJT Girls athletes are empowered to lead—on the ice through their play, and off the ice within their teams and community.
This is a program that challenges, supports, and inspires players to reach their full potential.
