NA3HL Weekend Preview
The NA3HL is back this weekend with 31 games on the schedule from Friday-Sunday as spots for the Fraser Cup Playoffs continue to be clinched.
The NA3HL Fraser Cup Playoffs begin in less than two months, so all games are very important at this point. The top four teams in each of the five divisions will qualify for the playoffs.
It was another good week for player advancement as two more players from NA3HL were called up to the NAHL, and another signed an NAHL tender.
There are some big series this weekend, which includes 1st and 2nd place colliding in the East and West Divisions as Northeast hosts Long Beach, while Granite City hosts Mason City.
The NA3HL is in its 12th season in 2021-22 and serves as one of the top training grounds in the country by providing the best coaching, exposure and developmental vehicles available for student-athletes in Tier III junior hockey. It is one of only two USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III junior leagues.
No other league of its kind has had more movement and advanced more players onto play in the North American Hockey League (NAHL) than the NA3HL. Thanks to additional and enhanced initiatives in cooperation with the NAHL put in place several years ago, more players from the NA3HL play, practice, and earn NCAA Division I scholarships with the NAHL than any other league.
This past season not only did 35 NA3HL players sign tenders to play in the NAHL for the 2021-22 season, but 21 more players were selected in the 2021 NAHL Draft. The NA3HL also continues to make its mark and is one of the leaders in junior hockey with the advancement of players onto the NCAA.
All games broadcast live on HockeyTV.
