New York Riptide

New York Riptide is a Uniondale, New York-based box lacrosse team that is a part of the National Lacrosse League (NLL). It plays at the Nassau Coliseum and is owned by GF Sports and Entertainment. The team is part of the NLL's East Division, which also includes the Philadelphia Wings, Rochester Knighthawks, Toronto Rock, Albany Firewolves, Buffalo Bandits, Georgia Swarm, and Halifax Thunderbirds. The teams play eighteen games throughout the season, with nine home games and nine away games.

The New York Riptide is one of three teams from New York that have participated in the NLL, with the other two being the now-defunct New York Saints and New York Titans. The team has more than twenty-five players and a dance team to accompany it during the games. The team's inaugural 2019-2020 season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2020-2021 season was canceled entirely. For the 2021-2022 season, the team had a new general manager, Jim Veltman, and a new head coach, Dan Ladouceur. The team finished the 2021-2022 season with six wins and twelve losses.
