NAHL Prospects Challenge

The NAHL Prospect Challenge is an extension of the NAPHL FALL League, organized and directed by NAHL Member teams. Hosting this event in conjunction with the Robertson Cup allows for more NAHL teams to participate, scout, recruit, educate potential players and attract prospects from a greater geographical area. After much success last year, we look to continue to build upon that this year. The event is designed to maximize exposure for the players and bring together teams for likeminded and enhanced competition.
