NA3HL Weekend Preview

February 26, 2016

Just three weekends of action remain in the 2015-16 NA3HL regular season and the time to make the playoffs and get in the best playoff position in running out on teams.

Four of the six divisions in the NA3HL (Central, Midwest, South and West) have their four teams decided already, but where they will finish may be still in question in some cases. The race for the overall regular season title in the NA3HL is a two-horse race right now between North Iowa and Metro, who have also both clinched their respective divisions.

The next team likely to clinch their division is St. Louis, who are just a few wins away from doing so.
