NA3HL Weekend Preview
It is an exciting time in the NA3HL as we are down to just a few weeks remaining in the 2020-21 regular season. This weekend will be another busy one with 29 games as teams have their eyes on the finish line.
11 teams have already punched their tickets to the Fraser Cup Playoffs, with several more teams knocking on the door to clinch more spots this weekend.
It was an incredible week for advancement for NA3HL players as another played signed an NAHL tender, and five others made NCAA commitments. Over 30 NA3HL players have made NCAA commitments to date.
In the Central Division, the Rochester Grizzlies need just one win or a Peoria loss to claim the division, while the Oregon Trademen need a point or a Milwaukee Power loss to claim the fourth and final spot. In the East, teams continue to jockey for the four spots with Northeast having clinched. In the Frontier Division, the Sheridan Hawks are a few wins away from claiming the NA3HL’s regular season title. Great Falls, Missoula and Gillette just need a win or two to clinch the final three spots. In the South, it will be a battle for the division title as the Brahmas host the Rhinos for three games. In the West, it is all out sprint between North Iowa and Granite City for the regular season title, while Alexandria needs a win and a New Ulm loss to claim the final playoff spot.
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.
