NICK GRAZIANO - NJ Renegades(EHLP)-Team MD(EHL)/European Pro Player
"Coach Fusco at TM as well as my father Coach Graz who coached me most of my career and 3 years on the Renegades Jr Team, as well as my whole overall experience in the EHL & EHLP, has prepared me for this next step in my career and I cannot thank my coaches enough for the guidance and help they have given me," said Graziano. "I'm extremely excited about starting my professional career in France."
Graziano is the prime example of a player progressing on his way up the ladder, after playing three seasons for his father with the Renegades, and his final two years of Jr hockey for Coach Fusco with Team Maryland.
Short Season with "Extended Season" options
Any questions regarding the Renegades 16U/18U JDP program contact Cliff Graziano via email at cgraz16@ptd.net or read up more at this link click here.
Renegades players will have access to camps, scouting services, etc... to these affiliates!!! Join The Renegades and climb the family ladder!!!
Our brother and fellow Renegades Alumni Coach Chris Ceransky passed away on Friday March 4th, 2022. It is a sad, sad day! The last 24 hours have been heartbreaking for all of us concerned for Chris and his family.
To his wife Sam Ceransky & Chris’s parents and extended family, we are all here for you. Please reach out if you need anything!
Topher Ceransky was like a little brother to me. He started coaching in our youth program then on to our Renegades Jr team. We coached together for many, many years with the Renegades, Turcotte Stickhandling, Team MD, and many other clinics, camps and lessons. He exemplified everything we wanted in a Renegades coach, but more importantly he was a true friend.
I, along with the many players he coached, coaches he coached with, and parents that reached out in the last 24 hours was an amazing support of our hockey family that Chris helped us build. He will be missed by everyone that knew him. I love you brother. He is and always will be a Renegade, and part of of our family.
Cliff Graziano Jr.

BILLET FAMILIES NEEDED
What is a Renegades Billet family?
It's a host family that takes in a Jr player in the age range of 16-20 years old, that needs a place to live for the 6 month Jr team season.
Billeted players assist with chores around the house, help your kids with their homework and their sports endeavors!
Any family that billets will get discounts on lessons, clinics, etc... please make sure to ask Coach Graz!
We ask for "Billet Families" to provide a clean, safe, family-friendly environment for our players, and in return, billet families receive a monthly stipend to cover food expenses for the players.
If you are interested in learning more about being one of our Billet Families, please reach out to Cliff Graziano at cgraz16@ptd.net as soon as possible!
We are in need of a few more "billet," families for the upcoming season so if you are interested please let us know ASAP!
Thank you for your consideration to help further our players' futures and to build these life long relationships!
