NA3HL Weekend Preview
There are 14 games slated to take place this weekend in the NA3HL as the final games before the Christmas break take place.
While there are many intriguing contests in the Central, East, Frontier, and South Divisions, a few of them stand out.
In the East, the battle of Massachusetts continues as Northeast and Bay State clash. In the Central, the division-leading Rochester Grizzlies are on the road for three games as they face Wausau on Friday and then face a tough series in Peoria against the 2nd place Mustangs on Saturday and Sunday. In the Frontier, winning streaks collide as Sheridan visits Helena, while Great Falls will try and hold onto their small division lead with a tough series in Gillette. In the South, old rivals meet as El Paso is at Oklahoma City.
The NA3HL is in its 11th season in 2020-21 and serves as one of the top training grounds in the country by providing the best coaching, exposure and developmental vehicles available for student-athletes in Tier III junior hockey. It is one of only two USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III junior leagues.
No other league has had more movement and advanced more players onto play in the NAHL than the NA3HL. Earlier this summer, not only did 27 NA3HL players sign a tender to play in the NAHL for the upcoming 2020-21 season, but 28 more players were selected in the 2020 NAHL Entry Draft on July 21st.
The NA3HL also continues to make its mark and is one of the leaders in junior hockey with the advancement of players onto the NCAA. So far in 2020, the NA3HL has over 120+ college commitments, with almost 70% of those being NCAA commitments.
