The New Jersey Titans were a Tier III junior ice hockey team in the Eastern Hockey League. Based in Middletown Township, New Jersey, the Titans played home games at the Middletown Ice World.[1]
The New Jersey Titans were founded as a youth ice hockey organization in 1999.[2] In 2003, the club founded a junior-age franchise (16-20 years old) and became founding members of the Atlantic Junior Hockey League. After just one season, the team withdrew from the league. Eight years later, the Titans rejoined the AJHL.[3] Just one year later, the Titans remained with the league during a large reshuffling of junior hockey clubs which included the AJHL rebranding as the Eastern Hockey League.[4]
In 2015, the organization purchased the Tier II junior franchise rights from the Soo Eagles.[5] The Titans then dissolved their Tier III club and transferred all personnel to the North American Hockey League club.
