We're welcoming some new, talented neighbors into our state.

The New York Sirens, one of just six teams in the professional Women's Hockey League now called the Prudential Center here in Newark home.

It's their second season and they're hoping to follow in the footsteps of our state's hockey history and bring home some trophies.

Ted Goldberg learned about the Jersey roots of some of the star players and a link between the Champion Devils and this new squad.

The siren song is growing louder and louder after every goal scored at the rock.

I love coming to the games because then I guess you.

Like your girlfriend.

Life.

I am originally from Brazil.

Sao Paulo.

Brazil.

So I move here a while ago and I fell in love with hockey.

My first game totally fell in love.

I am a soccer person.

Can't change it completely.

People from Brazil, Bergen County, and every other part of New Jersey are learning about the New York sirens.

One of six teams playing their second season in the Professional Women's Hockey League.

Don't let the name fool you.

There are plenty of Garden State roots here.

Forward Alex Carpenter is the daughter of Bobby Carpenter, an 18 year NHL veteran who won the Stanley Cup with the Devils in 1995.

I definitely see all the pictures, you know, eating Cheerios out of it.

Parents put me in it.

I had a little sip of champagne out of it.

My dad gave me a little little taste.

You know, you got to it's a rite of passage.

Alex says her father never pushed her to hockey, even after he won two more cups as an assistant coach.

I just came to love it on my own.

And especially being at the rinks all the times, you know, just it was a natural thing.

And once he saw that, I wanted to take it seriously and play in college and the professional ranks, that's when he, you know, stepped in and help me with the little finer nuances of the game that not many other coaches know.

Today, she's a professional and a two time Olympian.

When she was growing up in Morris County, she was just like the kids we see at Sirens games.

I remember when I was in their shoes at one point, you know, always being down at the glass for warm ups and trying to get pots and sticks and all those sorts of things to now be on the ice and to see the other side of it.

It's really amazing.

It's always exciting.

I mean, even getting pucks to fans and warm up, it's so exciting to see them, you know, light up.

This is the second season for The Sirens and their first since drafting Sarah Philipp, a gold medalist with Team Canada and a superstar with Princeton and University.

And last year, Princeton.

I had a lot of fans come up saying that I was hopefully going to get drafted by New York and that they can make the trip down to the Prudential Center to watch us.

So it's nice to see some familiar faces in the stands, but it's cool to kind of reach a greater market.

A greater market that enjoys watching women's skate score and serve as role models.

We've been very fortunate because our daughter actually plays up in Montclair for the Junior Rangers, and so we've been lucky enough to see the sirens practice even nearby in West Orange.

So it's a great influence on her as well.

She talks about wanting to play at the pro level one day and seeing that it's possible and not only possible, but normal.

It's something she sees all the time now.

Not every sport gets representation in every state, every city.

And I think it's really awesome that like in my home and like, I can go see it and I can go see all these players and like, you know, have opportunities to meet them locally.

Last year, the Sirens had three home rinks in three states.

Now they're roommates with the Devils playing all of their home games at the Prudential Center.

It's really exciting.

I'm also a Devils fan, so to see them play in such a big arena and an important one, it's awesome.

We have a place like we feel that it's a home so we don't go around like, Oh, it's maybe this one is going to be home or that one.

I feel like it's powerful to have a home.

The support for this team here locally has been outstanding.

You see it on the glass at every home game.

The signs that are made, the exchange of the bracelets.

You know, I think the fan engagement with the players makes it makes it exciting for people to to build a relationship and come back and support this team.

The siren season runs through early May, giving fans plenty of time to check out the newest pro hockey team in New Jersey in West Orange.

I'm Ted Goldberg.
