NAHL alumni take part in NHL Development Camps
July 8, 2019
Johnstown Tomahawks and NAHL Top Prospects forward Carson Briere attended the Philadelphia Flyers development camp this summer.
Every summer provides the annual opportunity for dozens of NAHL alumni to attend annual development and prospect camps across the NHL.
All the NHL teams hold their development/prospect camps in late June and early July. Former NAHL players were once again a significant part of the mix as over 90+ alumni are currently at camps.
The numerous NAHL alumni at NHL development/prospect camps come on the heels of a memorable season for the NAHL.
The NAHL recently set another new single-season NCAA commitments record. With 335 commitments to date, the has topped its total of 331 last season. It also includes 224 NCAA Division I commitments this past season, which is a new record.
The league also saw six players with NAHL experienced selected in the 2019 NHL Draft held a couple of weeks ago in Vancouver, BC.
