Press Release
The North American Hockey League (NAHL) has announced the rosters for
next month’s NAHL Top Prospects Tournament, presented by Combat Hockey,
which will be held from February 18-20 at the Troy Sports Center in
Troy, Michigan.
In a very short period of time, the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament has
become one of the most highly-scouted events of its kind. Last season,
over 160 scouts attended the event, which featured almost every NHL
team and NCAA Division I school. Over a third of the players that
competed in last year’s event ended up with an NCAA Division I
opportunity.

DAKOTA - FRONTIER - GREAT LAKES - MIDWEST - TEXAS - NAHL 18U SELECTS
At the event, six teams – Dakota, Frontier, Great Lakes, Midwest,
Texas and the NAHL 18U Selects - will each play three games. Each team
consists of a 20-man roster as nominated by the league’s 24 head coaches
and then chosen by the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament head coaches and
selection committee. Each of the teams will consist of 12 forwards, 6
defensemen and 2 goaltenders. The number of players represented by each
NAHL team was based on each team’s winning percentage within their
division as of January 14th. In addition, there were three wild card
players selected to play on the Frontier team.
