Titans 18U forward Chicola signs NAHL Tender

The NAPHL’s T1ER League is pleased to announce that New Jersey Titans 18U forward Jackson Chicola has signed a NAHL tender agreement for the 2025-26 season with the New Jersey Titans of the NAHL’s East Division.

Chicola, 18, is no stranger to the Titans organization, having previously competed at the 15U, 16U, and 18U levels in the NAPHL. Given his long-standing connection with the program, it’s no surprise that the 2008 forward has signed with the NAHL squad.

During the 2024-25 season, the Westfield, NJ native led the Titans in scoring, tallying 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) in 13 games. His standout performance came during the Dixon Cup, where he scored twice, including the game-winner, and added an assist in a 6-2 victory over Omaha Mastery.

Thanks to his strong season, Chicola earned a spot at the 2025 Top Prospects Tournament, representing the Titans in four games with Team Red. He also gained valuable NAHL experience, appearing in three games at the junior level during the year.

He is one of six skaters from New Jersey’s 18U team who has signed an NAHL tender agreement for the upcoming season.

A tender is a contract, of sorts, a player signs announcing his intentions to play for that particular NAHL team and that NAHL team only. Once a player signs a tender with an NAHL team, his playing rights belong to that team within the NAHL and he may not be recruited by any other NAHL team. Each team is granted ten (10) tenders, which include two (2) tenders exclusively used on players from the T1ER - plus or minus any trades - which became active on November 1st. Tendered players are not eligible for the 2025 NAHL Draft.
