The NAPHL’s T1ER League is pleased to announce that the Philadelphia Little Flyers 18U forward Liam Jackson has signed a NAHL tender agreement for the 2025-26 season with the Corpus Christi IceRays of the NAHL’s South Division. 

Jackson, 19, recently concluded his youth hockey career after spending two seasons competing in the T1ER league with the Philadelphia Little Flyers. Over the course of 38 games in the iconic orange and black, the Manalapan, NJ native tallied 18 points, including six goals and 12 assists. Among the highlights of his 2024–25 campaign was a pivotal performance at the September Showcase, where he played a key role in a 3–1 victory over the Nashville Jr. Predators. In that game, the 6-foot forward helped swing the momentum in Philadelphia’s favor late in the first period, capitalizing on a power play opportunity to open the scoring and set the tone for the rest of the contest.

He is one of two players from the Little Flyers’ 18U roster to secure 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.
