About NAHL
Entering its 51st season in 2025-26, the NAHL is the oldest Junior hockey league in the United States and the only USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier II Junior league, with 34 teams playing in 19 states across North America. With more than 422 NCAA commitments last season, the NAHL is the best in the world at advancing players to NCAA hockey and often beyond to professional hockey.
The NAHL’s dedication to player development and movement to college hockey and beyond is demonstrated by the league’s high-profile annual exposure events like the NAHL Showcase in September, the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament, and the NAHL Robertson Cup Championship, which have all evolved into hockey’s most prominent and popular of its kind events that are a must-see for hockey fans and must-scout for NCAA programs and NHL teams alike.
The NAHL is unique in the fact that a vast majority of players begin their NAHL careers without an NCAA opportunity and earn one through the course of their development in the league.
About the NA3HL
Heading into its 16th season in 2025-26, the North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) is the only USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III Junior league and serves as one of the top developmental training opportunities by providing the best coaching, exposure and developmental vehicles available for student-athletes in its classification. The primary mission of the NA3HL, which is managed organizationally by the North American Hockey League (NAHL), is to provide a structured developmental environment for student-athletes who have aspirations of playing in Tier I or II junior hockey and eventually the NCAA or American College Hockey Association.
