The national team is comprised of some of the most elite American ice hockey players in the junior hockey age bracket. The following weekend the NM Ice Wolves open their regular season kicking off the NAHL’s highly competitive South Division, affectionately known as the Dirty South, against the Corpus Christi IceRays. Full season and partial season tickets for NM Ice Wolves home games are available now by sending an email to tickets@nmicewolves.com. Tickets for both games against the national team will be included for full season ticket holders while half season ticket holders will receive tickets to one of the US NTDP games.
“Starting the season against a team loaded with future NHL draft picks is an incredibly exciting way to start a season. Playing these games before the start of the regular season and the NAHL Showcase is a great way to have our team ready early,” said New Mexico Ice Wolves Head Coach and General Manager Phil Fox. “We’re looking forward to the upcoming season and with the support of our incredible fans and host families we know it will be a great one.”
“The US NTDP has a long history with the NAHL and this is another great opportunity to grow it. The NM Ice Wolves are a great team and we look forward to two very competitive games to start the season,” said Scott Monaghan, Asst. Executive Director USA Hockey, US NTDP and USA Hockey Arena. “USA Hockey loves to see the game grow in non-traditional markets such as New Mexico, and Stan Hubbard has built a great program in Albuquerque. We look forward to bringing the national team to New Mexico and hope to help spur even more interest in growing the game in that state.”

About NAHL
Celebrating its 50th season in 2024-25, the NAHL is the oldest and one of the largest junior hockey leagues of its kind in the United States and one of only two USA Hockey-certified leagues that operate under the free-to-play model. The NAHL is also one of the best in the world at advancing players to NCAA and professional hockey.
With 349 NCAA commitments so far during the 2023-24 season, the league has set a new standard with 300+ NCAA commitments in each of the last eight seasons. That also includes 270 NCAA Division I commitments this past season. In addition, six players with NAHL ties were listed in the NHL Central Scouting Final Rankings for the 2024 NHL Draft.
About USA Hockey National Team Development Program
In 1996, USA Hockey launched a new initiative called the National Team Development Program, originally based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In March of 2015 the USA Hockey Foundation purchased Compuware Arena (now USA Hockey Arena) in Plymouth, Michigan, which is the home of the NTDP. The program is composed of two teams – the U.S. National Under-17 and Under-18 Teams. The Under-17 Team, which will be visiting New Mexico, competes in the United States Hockey League and also participates in three international events annually. The U.S. National Under-18 Team’s schedule includes games against NCAA Division I & III opponents, contests versus USHL teams, as well as competition in three international tournaments.
