The NA3HL Top Prospects Tournament is a prime example of the strong partnership and development pathway between the NA3HL and NAHL. When it comes to Tier III junior leagues, no other league has produced more players who advance to the NAHL than the NA3HL.
Thanks to the NAHL's extensive resources for player development and exposure, including the annual Top Prospects Tournament, the NA3HL offers a valuable opportunity for players to develop both on and off the ice while being showcased to scouts from junior, college, and professional levels.
Similar to years past, the NA3HL Top Prospects Tournament will be done in conjunction with the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament. For more information about the event make sure to click here.
