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.
