Titans Acquire Tate Pecknold

May 24, 2025

The New Jersey Titans are pleased to announce the acquisition of forward Tate Pecknold from the Johnstown Tomahawks in exchange for future assets.

Pecknold, a native of Southport, Connecticut, is entering his age-out season after making his NAHL debut last season for Johnstown. Recording 25 points in 45 regular season games, the 6’0″ forward had 3 goals and an assist in the playoffs, including a pair of goals in the pivotal Game 5 between Johnstown and Rochester in the East Division Semifinals.

The left handed shot broke into the junior hockey ranks with Omaha of the USHL in the 2023-24 season, appearing in four games, where he was teammates with former Titan and 2022 Robertson Cup champion David Posma. A product of St. George’s School in Rhode Island, Pecknold recorded over a point per game in his final two seasons in prep school before beginning his junior hockey career. 

“We are very, very excited to add Tate this off-season. Having coached against him six times this season we are very excited to get him into our lineup as a top offensive guy,” said Head Coach and General Manager George Haviland. “His skating ability combined with his compete level and his puck skills makes him a very valuable addition for the New Jersey Titans. He is one of those guys that you hate to play against, but love to have them on your team. Welcome to New Jersey Tate!”
