Like it has for all of the NAPHL events, the NAHL Event Scouting System will continue in Troy. The Event Scouting System is lead by Craig Barnett, Coordinator of Player of Personnel for both the NA3HL and NAPHL. Barnett’s primary role is to coordinate the scouting at all NA3HL and NAPHL events, and to promote player advancement and to supply information to NAHL, NCAA and other junior and collegiate coaches.
 
The final NAPHL event of the 2013-14 season is the NAPHL Championship Series, which is scheduled for February 14-18 at the Troy Sports Center. The championship games in each division will be played in cooperation with the NAHL and NA3HL Top Prospects Tournaments, which will be happening on the same day.
