NA3HL Weekend Preview

September 23, 2022

This weekend, the hockey continues to roll on in the NA3HL as more and more teams begin their 2022-23 seasons.

There are 31 games on the slate as all five divisions are in action this weekend. Taking to the ice for the first time in 2022-23 will be the Alexandria Blizzard, Willmar WarHawks, Norwich Sea Captains, New Mexico Ice Wolves, and El Paso Rhinos. This weekend marks the debut of the New Mexico Ice Wolves in the NA3HL as they travel to El Paso.

The NA3HL Showcase is less than three months away and takes place from December 18-20 in Blaine, MN.

Earlier this month, the NAHL announced a new affiliate program with the NA3HL. Beginning this season, NAHL teams may name up to three NA3HL Affiliates and use them throughout the season without having to manage through a lot of roster disruptions. An NA3HL Affiliate is a player of extreme interest to an NAHL team and allows the NA3HL player the opportunity for more flexibility when he gets a call to compete in the NAHL. The program is in addition to the already in place and successful NA3HL Play and Practice Program, which promotes the opportunity for players in the NA3HL to get the chance to practice with NAHL teams.

No other league of its kind has had more movement and advanced more players onto play in the North American Hockey League (NAHL) than the NA3HL. Thanks to additional and enhanced initiatives in cooperation with the NAHL put in place several years ago, more players from the NA3HL play, practice, and earn NCAA Division I scholarships with the NAHL than any other league.

The NA3HL is the only USA Hockey Tier III Certified league and is operated by the experienced NAHL staff. The NA3HL takes pride in its internal player advancement system, internal NAHL tendering system, NAHL Central Scouting designed to promote players for the NAHL Draft, and its strategic event structure which are all built for player exposure and advancement. When you add it all up the NA3HL is truly a Step Above the Rest!
