NA3HL Weekend Preview
The NA3HL forges forward as the full first weekend of February is in full swing with 28 games on Friday and through Sunday.
It was a huge week for NA3HL advancement, which saw three players make an NCAA commitment and another sign an NAHL tender agreement.
As for the action on this ice this weekend, there is plenty of action to be had in all five divisions. The Gillette Wild will try and stop the 24-game winning streak of the Sheridan Hawks, who are just one win away from clinching the division’s first playoff spot. Oklahoma City is back in action as they host Mid Cities. A rivalry is renewed in the West as North Iowa plays host to Granite City. The El Paso Rhinos travel East to try and continue their hot play against Atlanta. The Northeast Generals try and creep closer to a division title as they host the Jr. Hat Tricks. Peoria looks to put the heat on Rochester with three games this weekend in Wausau.
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.
