NAPHL T1ER League Announces Top Prospects Schedule & Rosters

The North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL) is excited to announce the rosters for the 18U and 16U T1ER Top Prospects teams, set to compete from March 28-30, 2025, at the St. Peters Rec Plex in St. Peters, MO. The event will showcase the top talent from the NAPHL T1ER League, with 35 NAHL, 20+ NA3HL, and several NCAA & ACHA projected to be in attendance, this event will provide an unmatched exposure opportunity for the league’s elite players.
Each of the four teams will feature 20 players (12 forwards, 6 defensemen, and 2 goalies), bringing together a total of 80 of the best players from both the 18U and 16U T1ER levels. The teams will be coached by individuals scouting the event, including coaches from the NAHL, NA3HL, and other top levels. Player selections were determined through a combination of coach submissions, NAHL Central Scouting, and input from Neutral Zone game reports from T1ER events.
"Year after year, the T1ER League sets new records for tenders and draft picks in the NAHL and NA3HL. This year is no different. Our teams have done a tremendous job of reloading on talent and moving those players on to the next level. Many of those tendered players have found themselves on the Top Prospects rosters, giving them an opportunity to showcase themselves to their future teams by playing against the other ‘best’ in the T1ER League. Along those same lines, it gives these players an opportunity to be in the same building with our NA3HL Fraser Cup and St. Louis NAHL Combine to be seen by numerous teams and scouts that will be in attendance for the event. It’s a win-win for our T1ER players, as well as coaches and scouts participating in this event, and we’re excited to include them,” said Dennis Vickers, Director of Player Personnel and Director of the NAPHL.
This event remains a key opportunity for NAPHL players to elevate their profiles and advance to the next level.
