The NAPHL’s T1ER League is pleased to announce that Maine Nordiques 18U forward Kaden Rehberger has signed a NAHL tender agreement for the 2025-26 season with the Maine Nordiques of the NAHL’s East Division.

Rehberger, 19, is set to continue his journey within the Nordiques organization, advancing to the NAHL squad after completing his youth career with Maine's 16U and 18U teams. Over the course of 36 games, the Greer, SC native posted an impressive 44 points (19 goals, 25 assists). Of those, 36 points came during the 2024–25 season, where he led all scorers at the 18U level with an outstanding 2.12 points-per-game average.

His standout performance came during the prestigious Dixon Cup, where he played a key role in helping the Nordiques capture the 18U Silver Division Championship. In five playoff games, Rehberger exploded offensively, recording 22 points, including a dominant eight-point showing in a win over the North Carolina Golden Bears. In that game, he netted five goals (two on the power play, one shorthanded) and added three assists.

A consistent offensive force all season, Rehberger earned a spot at the 2025 Top Prospects Tournament, where he notched two goals for Team Gold. He is one of four players from the Nordiques 18U team to sign an NAHL tender for the upcoming season.

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 T1ER - plus or minus any trades - which became active on November 1st. Tendered players are not eligible for the 2025 NAHL Draft.
