NAHL Combine action begins next week!
The first North American Hockey League (NAHL) Combine of the year kicks off one week from today at the St. Peters Rec-Plex, welcoming 375+ junior-aged and 16U (prospects) players eager to showcase their skills. Participants will compete in four games, receiving coaching and in-game evaluation from NAHL and NA3HL staff, providing them with an authentic NAHL experience.
The NAHL Combines are designed to offer players and their families a comprehensive introduction to the junior hockey development path. The event is built on three key principles:
Education – Informative seminars covering the USA Hockey Development Ladder, the path to NAHL / NCAA hockey, and academic/NCAA compliance.
Exposure – Players will compete in front of every NAHL, NA3HL, and several NCAA, and ACHA scouts, while NAHL and NA3HL staff coach from the bench and scout from the stands.
Experience – Players will engage in competitive games against other NAHL & NA3HL prospects, receiving valuable in-game feedback.
Throughout the weekend, NAHL staff will be available on-site to answer questions and ensure an exceptional experience for all participants, featuring a NAHL Recruiting Experience & Seminar.
In addition to St. Peters, MO, the NAHL will host four more combines this spring at various locations across the United States. Check out the dates and locations below, and for more information, click HERE to visit the NAHL Combines page!
