Carshield AAA 18U Forward Willcoxson Signs NAHL Tender

The NAPHL’s T1ER League is pleased to announce that Carshield AAA 18U forward Cole Willcoxson has signed a NAHL tender agreement with the Minot Minotauros for the 2027–28 season.

Willcoxson, 18, is in his first season with the Carshield AAA program. He currently leads his team in points and goals scored so far this season. The 6-foot forward out of Scottsdale, Arizona has laced up for 12 games and has recorded 15 total points, including nine goals and six assists.

Willcoxson is the second player from Carshield’s 18U team to secure an NAHL tender agreement for the upcoming season so far.

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 2027 NAHL Draft.
