“We are so very excited to launch the NAHL 50th Anniversary season with the NAHL Showcase,” said NAHL Commissioner and President Mark Frankenfeld. “The showcase is such a special event that you can only understand how many people in the hockey world gather, under one roof, if you experience it in person. This years event will have the largest number of players on display for the NCAA and NHL scouts then ever before. It is a huge part of the NAHL core mission to develop, expose and advance players and we cannot wait for all the action to begin.”
The NAHL continues to be the premier destination for players to earn NCAA opportunities as to date, 396 players have made NCAA commitments during the 2023-24 season with 281 (71%) of those being NCAA Division I commitments.
The NAHL Showcase plays a big role in that success, with dozens of players each season earning an NCAA Division I opportunity during and following their participation in the event.
In addition to all 35 NAHL teams, the United States National Team Development Program (NTDP) of the United States Hockey League (USHL) will be playing three games in the event. They will take on the Minot Minotauros on Wednesday, September 25th. After an off day on Thursday, the NTDP will go head-to-head with the Shreveport Mudbugs on Friday, September 27th before closing out the event with a matchup on Saturday, September 28th against the Minnesota Wilderness.
Over the course of the four day event, the NAHL Showcase attracts over 9,000 people in overall attendance, including more than 300 professional, college and junior scouts. For scouting purposes, the NAHL Showcase is the premier event of its kind and is a yearly gathering for every NCAA program and NHL team as they get their first look at some of the best and brightest hockey talent North America has to offer.
