NA3HL South faces off this weekend
The North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) regular season continues this weekend with the South Division taking center stage as they face-off for the first time in the 2013-14 season. The Sugar Land Imperials will travel to Dallas to take on the Dallas Jr. Stars on Friday and Saturday at the Dr Pepper StarCenter in Euless.
It will be the debut for both teams. The Imperials are coached by Jarod Palmer and the Jr. Stars are coached by Jason Deitsch. Both are recently retired former professional players and coincidentally, both are also alums of the NAHL. Palmer was most recently with the Houston Aeros of the AHL and Deitsch finished his pro career with the Allen Americans in the CHL.
