NAHL Announces Rosters for the 2025 Top Prospects Tournament
The North American Hockey League (NAHL) has announced the official rosters for the 2025 NAHL Top Prospects Tournament. The tournament returns to the USA Hockey Arena for the first time since 2018.
The 2025 NAHL Top Prospects Tournament will feature six teams. Four of the squads will be divisional teams that consist of athletes from their respective divisions (Central, East, Midwest, South). There will also be two at-large ‘Selects’ teams, Selects Gold and Selects Black.
The rosters for the Central, East, Midwest and South divisions were formed based on each team’s winning percentage within their division as of January 19, 2025. Each division team's assigned head coach chooses his roster from uncommitted players nominated by the teams in their respective divisions. Just like the selection of rosters, the division coaches were determined by each team’s winning percentage in their respective divisions. The first place team will have their coach serve as the head coach, while the second place team secures the assistant coaching spot. The Selects Black squad consists of players from all four divisions and are the remaining nominated uncommitted players. The head coach and assistant coach for the Selects Black square are also determined by winning percentage.
The Selects Gold team was chosen by the NHL Central Scouting Department with additional players being determined by recommendations from Neutral Zone. The team will also be coached by NAHL coaches determined again by winning percentage.
Only those NAHL players without an NCAA commitment are eligible to participate in the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament, except for those who have been identified by NHL Central Scouting as prospects for the 2025 NHL Draft. Each team has 20 players (12 forwards, 6 defensemen, 2 goalies) for a total of 120 players.
