The Long Beach Sharks are a Tier III junior ice hockey team playing in the North American 3 Hockey League. The Sharks play their home games at the Long Beach Municipal Ice Arena in Long Beach, New York.
History In 2016, team owner Jim Loughran announced that the team was moving to Long Beach and would become the Sharks. During the COVID-shorted 2020–21, the team was forced to play the entire season on the road due to health restrictions. For a brief time, the team was called the 'New England Sharks' due to these COVID restrictions.
