🏒💙 The Bronx belongs on the ice.

Last winter, the Kips Bay Mustangs showed what can happen when access meets opportunity.

As home to the Bronx’s only ice rink, Kips Bay has been able to introduce young people to a sport that can often feel out of reach. What began with learning how to skate grew through years of practice, skill development, and dedication into a competitive hockey program taking on travel teams from across the Tri-State area.

That journey has been made possible through our partnership with the New York Rangers, including the support of Andrew Ahearn, Stephen Arullio, and the Junior Rangers TEAM Hockey initiative, as well as the commitment of Kips Bay staff member Luis Quiñones. Together, they’ve helped break down barriers and make hockey a real possibility for Bronx youth.

And our Mustangs have risen to the opportunity. 💪 From team captain Elijah R. and fearless competitor Liana C., to Zachary C., Xhavier P., Noah G., Kameron C., and goalie Noah H.—“The Big Jamaica”—these young athletes are building something special.

But behind every player is a community. Our Mustang families pack the bleachers at practices, scrimmages, and games, cheering loud enough to be heard across the Bronx. 🗣️🏒

The Kips Bay Mustangs are more than a hockey team. They’re proof of what young people can do when they’re given access, encouragement, and the opportunity to try something new.

From learning to skate to competing with some of the area’s strongest programs—the Bronx is on the ice, and the Mustangs are ready. 🐎🏒

🎃✨ Fall creativity is in full swing at Kips Bay!

Our Cadets got into the seasonal spirit by creating their very own jack-o’-lanterns, putting their creativity and personalities on full display. From designing to decorating, every creation was uniquely theirs! 🍂💙

A little imagination goes a long way at the Club!

⚽💙 Learning the game, one kick at a time!

Our SONYC members hit the field for a Soccer Demo with Fit Soccer Kids, working through skills, drills, and plenty of practice before putting it all together in a big game! 🙌

Beyond the soccer skills, experiences like these give our young people another opportunity to stay active, build confidence, work as a team, and—most importantly—have fun.

A huge thank-you to Fit Soccer Kids for giving our members such an incredible experience! ⚽👏

🏀🧡💙 A night to remember on Randall’s Island!

Our kids had an incredible time at the Roommates Block Party, taking in the live show, enjoying the giveaways, and getting to experience a night they’ll be talking about for a long time!

A huge thank-you to the @drinkbodyarmor team for inviting our young people and opening the door to another unforgettable experience. Moments like these are what make being part of the Kips Bay community so special. 💙

And of course…

Go New York, go New York, GO! 🗽🏀
