Showcase League

SHOW League

The NAPHL's SHOWCASE (SHOW) League is for Tier I and Tier II teams from all over North America looking to showcase their players at NAPHL events.

Since the inception of the SHOW League we have experienced increased number of opportunities for players at the NAHL, NA3HL, and T1ER Leagues.
