The New York Riptide are a professional box lacrosse franchise based in Uniondale, New York. They are members of the Eastern Conference of the National Lacrosse League (NLL). They play home games at Nassau Coliseum and began their first season in 2019.
The 2023-24 season will be the team's final season in Uniondale as the Riptide will be moving to Ottawa beginning with the 2024-25 campaign. It is currently unclear if the team will keep its current name for next season.
History
On December 12, 2018, the NLL awarded an expansion franchise to Uniondale, New York and owner GF Sports. The team began play in December 2019 with its home arena being the Nassau Coliseum.[1][2] The Riptide mark the return of the National Lacrosse League to the Long Island area after the departure of the New York Saints (1989–2003) and the New York Titans (2006–2009), both of whom also played at Nassau Coliseum.
The New York Riptide name and logo were announced on February 17, 2019, as chosen by fans.[3]
On January 18, 2020, the Riptide got their first win in franchise history when they beat the Georgia Swarm by a score of 13–12 in overtime at Nassau Coliseum.
On June 3, 2020, the entire coaching staff and lacrosse operations team, including head coach and general manager Regy Thorpe, were fired.[4]
On July 10, 2020, the Riptide announced the hiring of Jim Veltman as general manager and Dan Ladouceur as head coach.[5]
Veltman was relieved of his duties on January 9, 2023, and replaced by executive vice president Rich Lisk.[6]
Relocation to Ottawa
John Rodenburg of CFGO Radio in Canada reported on February 20, 2024 that the Riptide would be relocating to Ottawa following the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, and will play their home games at Canadian Tire Centre for the 2024-25 season. The team cited poor attendance as well as their eviction from Nassau Coliseum as factors in the move.[7]
