Most of these teams are going to be rookies and have yet to establish a website, forum, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew of any resources (other then the map on usfirst.org) in which I could find contact information for teams in New Jersey and New York. Any advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If they are local enough, can you just go to their high school and ask? If you know who sponsors them, can you go to the sponsor's website and send and email, or make a phone call?
Have you searched CD "members" list to see if there is anyone from those teams registered here? Then you can PM or email them directly (if they are active).
You might also just ask on CD if anyone has a contact for specific teams and to PM it to you. There's got to be someone on here that has contacts for the teams you're looking at.
Otherwise, you might go to the volunteers section of usfirst.org and find a FIRST contact. Send an email stating your objective, and perhaps FIRST can contact those teams and ask them to contact you. Or perhaps FIRST can get in touch with their regional director who many have local team contacts.
Those are just a few ideas that might work.
