NA3HL Weekend Preview
February 1, 2019
Just over a month remains in the NA3HL regular season and it is now officially crunch time for all teams. This weekend could not only see more teams clinch a berth to the Fraser Cup Playoffs, but regular season divisional crowns are also going to start to be clinched.
The NA3HL is coming off another great week of player advancement, with four more players signing NAHL tenders and several more players spending time called up to NAHL teams.
This week also saw the announcement of the rosters for the 2019 NA3HL Top Prospects Tournament, which will take place from February 18-19 at the New England Sports Village in Attleboro, MA. Just over two weeks remain until 120 of some of the NA3HL’s best players will take to the ice for the annual event.
The 2018-19 season marks the ninth for the NA3HL, which is one of two USA Hockey-certified Tier III junior leagues. This past season, no other league has had more movement and advanced more players onto play in the NAHL than the NA3HL.
The NA3HL is also the only league that has an exclusive NAHL tendering system available only to NA3HL players. This sets the stage for a proven and quantifiable NA3HL-NAHL pipeline as the NA3HL continues to make their mark in advancement of players. A total of 51 former NA3HL players played in the NAHL during the 2017-18 regular season. In addition, 24 more current NA3HL players were tendered by NAHL teams to play in the NAHL for the 2018-19 season.
The NA3HL also saw over 150+ college commitments in 2017-18. Almost 70% of those college commitments were NCAA commitments.
