Janesville forward Mathison signs NAHL tender

The Janesville Jr. Jets, members of the NAPHL’s Fall League, are pleased to announce that 18U forward Boone Mathison has signed a NAHL tender agreement with the Janesville Jets of the NAHL’s Midwest Division.

Mathison, 18, just completed his first season playing with the Jr. Jets. He appeared in eight NAPHL regular season games during the 2020-21 season and recorded seven points (2 goals, 5 assists). He also had a goal in four playoff games.

A tender is a contract, of sorts, a player signs announcing his intentions to play for that particular NAHL team and that NAHL team only. Once a player signs a tender with an NAHL team, his playing rights belong to that team within the NAHL and he may not be recruited by any other NAHL team. Each team is granted ten (10) tenders, which include two (2) tenders exclusively used on players from the NAPHL - plus or minus any trades - which became active on Nov. 1. Tendered players are not eligible for the 2021 NAHL Draft.
