A busy weekend greets NAHL teams this weekend as 24 games highlight the schedule.
All 23 teams are in action as the calendar turns to October. This past week was a big one for the NAHL as 10 current and former players were named to the NHL Central Scouting players to watch list for the 2018 NHL Draft.
In addition, 51 NAHL alumni began the season on NHL Opening Night rosters.
