NA3HL Weekend Preview
October 19, 2018
This weekend in the NA3HL features 34 games from Friday through Sunday.
There is just one undefeated team remaining in the league and that is the Helena Bighorns. The Bighorns will be put to a big test on Friday night as they face the Great Falls Americans, who have just one loss. Winning streaks collide in the Central Division as rivals St. Louis and Peoria meet for the first time in 2018-19. Extended winning streaks are also on the line this weekend for the Rochester Grizzlies, Mid Cities Jr. Stars, Binghamton Junior Senatoris and Northeast Generals. The Generals are riding high after earlier in the week handing the L/A Nordiques their first loss of the season.
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.
