The Connecticut Nor'easter are a Junior Tier III ice hockey team from Simsbury, Connecticut, playing in the Eastern Hockey League (EHL).
Previously known as the Oilers, the organization also had youth teams, ranging from age groups of 6 to 16-years-old, and competed in the Atlantic Youth Hockey League (AYHL) out of the SoNo Icehouse in Norwalk, Connecticut.[1][2] However, these teams joined the Connecticut RoughRiders organization when the Oilers relocated to Hamden.
