Coach Arik

"In 2007, I showed up at Stevens as a college freshman thinking I'd go into a business or finance career. I never thought I would (1) be working in tennis, or (2) be working at my alma mater all these years later. Hoboken, just like Stevens, has become my home. I love coaching, I love this community, and couldn't be more excited to share Hoboken Aces with you."

Coach Tory

"Growing up in Union, NJ, tennis was more than just a sport in my family - it was a tradition, passed down long before I ever picked up a racket. Some of my earliest memories are of watching my older siblings compete, shaping the way I saw and played the game. Today, as I share this lifelong love with my two children, I'm honored to welcome yours to the court, and to our Stevens Tennis family."

Ace The Groundhog

For as long as we can remember, a family of groundhogs have made themselves at home on the grassy hills overlooking our Stevens Tennis Courts. Every morning, as they climb out of their homes to munch on a breakfast of grass, they peer through the wired fence at our Varsity teams.

It's hard to pinpoint when exactly we started calling our friendly neighbors 'Ace.' Today, that's all we know them as.

"What's up, Ace!"

"Morning, Ace!"

"Thanks for the support, Ace!"

No matter what we are going through, seeing Ace laying out in the sun or scurrying into his burrow always brings a smile to our face. Catching Ace peeking his head out of his house while warming up for a 6:30 am practice or hitting an extra basket of serves gives us a healthy dose of perspective. He keeps us grounded and reminds us that tennis is a game. As the inspiration and mascot for Hoboken Aces, he can't wait to welcome you and yours on court!
