All-Star Games highlight Day 3 in Blaine

December 16, 2019

Northstar Academy forward Jens Richards (top) was named the MVP of the NAPHL 18U All-Star Game, while Meijer AAA defenseman Parker Anderson (bottom) was named the MVP of the 16U All-Star Game played on Sunday night.

The sixth event of the 2019-20 NAPHL season continued with its third full day of the event on Sunday as the league returned to the NSC Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota for four days of hockey action.
 
On Sunday all NAPHL teams were in action in the High Performance, Elite and Showcase Divisions, with the 16U teams playing in two games and the 18U teams each playing one game.
 
Over 130 college and junior scouts have checked in through the first three days of the event, including several NAHL head coaches.
 
All games this weekend will be broadcast live on HockeyTV
 
This weekend's event is played in cooperation with the 2019 NA3HL Showcase, which runs from December 15-17 at the Super Rink. All NA3HL teams will play three regular-season games at the Showcase, which is annually one of the most well-attended and scouted events of the entire season for the league, attracting college and junior scouts alike. The NA3HL Showcase brings every NA3HL team under one roof, which allows scouts to see all the great talent the league has to offer. Not only does the showcase see a large presence of NCAA scouts but NAHL Central Scouting is also in attendance, furthering the chances for players to earn a call up to the NAHL.
