Not only did we witness some incredible games at our events, but our teams did very well during the season on the National stage,” said NAPHL Director Lucas Trombetta. “We had another great season for 18U players signing tenders in the NAHL and another incredible end to the season with a thrilling championship game between Madison and Meijer AAA. We also congratulate the 18U Coach of the Year Rob DeGagne for the great comeback season with the Thunder Bay Kings.”
