Ice Hockey

Despite being one of the newer athletic programs, the GSB Ice Hockey program has quickly become a staple in the winter sports season and a fan favorite for student crowds. 

The Knights are comprised of a co-ed roster and compete against some of the top teams in the area at local arenas. The team has displayed tremendous success in recent seasons, including a 12-4-2 record in 2023-2024 in which they won their first-ever Haas Cup Championship. Due to the success of the team, they are moving up to the Halvorsen Division for the 2024-2025 season.

Coach Atkian

Now in his second year leading the GSB varsity ice hockey program, Coach Miles Atkian brings energy, experience, and a deep commitment to player development both on and off the ice.

Before joining Gill St. Bernard’s, Coach Atkian served as Head Coach at Oratory Prep for the 2022–23 and 2023–24 seasons, where he helped strengthen the program’s competitiveness and culture. He also leads the Jersey Colts, guiding the team to the 2024 AHF Championship and the 2024 AAHA District Championship, as well as the 2025 AHF NJ Bantam title.

With extensive connections across the youth hockey community, Coach Atkian is passionate about growing the sport and fostering new opportunities for student-athletes at GSB. His practices are high-tempo and focused on a balance of team systems, strategy, and individual skill work. Outside of practices, he emphasizes film study, off-ice training, and team-building activities to cultivate a close-knit, motivated group.

A four-year varsity starter at Morristown High School, Coach Atkian began his playing career with the NJ Freeze and NJ Bandits youth programs. Today, he continues to share his expertise through private and small-group lessons centered on skating and skill development.

For Coach Atkian, hockey is more than a game—it’s a platform for teaching teamwork, resilience, and leadership that extend well beyond the rink.
