Welcome to the new NAPHL Spring event of the 2020-21 season, which takes place from March 26-28 at the St. Peters Rec Plex in St. Louis, Missouri. We are very excited about this new event, which is new to the NAPHL this season.
This weekend features competition in the 18U, 16U, and 14U levels. The new invitational event in St. Louis is an extension of the 2020-21 NAPHL season that is designed to assist and provide open competition for all Tier II youth teams that are preparing and getting ready for state, district, and national tournaments.
Now in its 12th season, no other USA Hockey youth league does more for its players than the NAPHL. Operated by the full-time staff of the North American Hockey League (NAHL), who make it their mission to outperform others both on and off the ice in promoting its players. The NAPHL has proved over the years that the league is a great stepping-stone for development and training for young hockey players looking to gain experience and knowledge to work their way up to the National level.
