Reno Pond Hockey is entering their fourteenth season in the Reno Ice Adult League. They come off a strong showing in the RIAL Summer 2025 season, finishing the regular season with an impressive 8-2-0 record and narrowly missing the E-League regular season title by just one point. In the playoffs, Reno Pond Hockey defeated the Reno Fire Hosers E in the semifinal by forfeit and then went on to claim the RIAL Summer 2025 E-League Championship, edging out Satans Gatekeepers 5-4 in overtime. With an overall record of 10-2-0, this marked their second RIAL E-League Championship and their fourth consecutive appearance in the RIAL E-League Championship game. Overall, Reno Pond Hockey has appeared in the RIAL playoffs eight times, reached the championship game seven times, and won four titles, cementing their reputation as one of the most consistent and competitive teams in the league.

Reno Pond Hockey has been part of the Reno Ice Adult League (RIAL) since the very beginning. As a founding member in the Summer 2021 season, the team was one of the original squads to hit the ice in the new league. The team started out competing in the RIAL B-League for its first three seasons. In the summer of 2022, league restructuring moved Reno Pond Hockey into the newly created D-League, where they found immediate success—winning back-to-back regular season titles and championships. Two years later, in the summer of 2024, Reno Pond Hockey dropped into the E-League, where they continued to build on their history of strong performances, earning another regular season title and two more championships. Over the years, Reno Pond Hockey has made the playoffs eight times and reached the championship game seven times. Altogether, they’ve claimed three regular season titles and four championships—establishing themselves as one of the most competitive and consistent teams in the league’s short history. Last season was another strong campaign. Reno Pond Hockey finished second out of eight teams in the E-League standings with a record of 8-2-0. They were an offensive force, scoring 50 goals (second-most in the league), while also boasting one of the stingiest defenses—allowing just 26 goals (tied for the fewest in the league), and recording one shutout. After securing a playoff spot, the team powered through the semifinals and capped off the season by winning the championship game.
