NA3HL Weekend Preview
October 12, 2018
The NA3HL is back this weekend with 32 games on the schedule on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
There are some big and marquee match-ups this weekend as we are just two months away from the 2018 NA3HL Showcase, which takes place from December 16-18, 2018 at the Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota.
Winning streaks are on the line this weekend for several teams, and that includes one of two remaining undefeated teams, the L/A Nordiques, who will play twice at home this weekend, including a tough match-up against New England on Saturday. The Wisconsin Whalers put their five-game winning streak on the line this weekend as they host the St. Louis Jr. Blues. The other undefeated team in the NA3HL, the Helena Bighorns, face two tough road tests this weekend in Bozeman and Missoula. The top two teams in the Northeast Division collide this weekend as Oswego is at Binghamton and in the South Division, the marquee match-up is Atlanta at Mid-Cities, which is the HockeyTV Game of the Week.

The 2018-19 season marks the ninth for the NA3HL, which is one of two USA Hockey-certified Tier III junior leagues. This past season, no other league has had more movement and advanced more players onto play in the NAHL than the NA3HL.
The NA3HL is also the only league that has an exclusive NAHL tendering system available only to NA3HL players. This sets the stage for a proven and quantifiable NA3HL-NAHL pipeline as the NA3HL continues to make their mark in advancement of players. A total of 51 former NA3HL players played in the NAHL during the 2017-18 regular season. In addition, 24 more current NA3HL players were tendered by NAHL teams to play in the NAHL for the 2018-19 season.
The NA3HL also saw over 150+ college commitments in 2017-18. Almost 70% of those college commitments were NCAA commitments.
