NAHL Weekend Preview

September 29, 2017

After the thrill and spectacle of the NAHL Showcase last week, NAHL teams get back to their regular season this weekend with 19 games on the schedule as September comes to a close.

The jockeying in the standings has already begun as had the commitments. To date, 61 players in the NAHL currently have an NCAA Division I commitment. Last season, the NAHL set a new single-season record with 305 NCAA commitments.

More than 370 scouts, including 169 from the NCAA were in attendance at the NAHL Showcase last week.

With the final roster cut down and deadline looming next week, this weekend is important for many NAHL players and teams.
