The North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL) has
announced the rosters for next month’s 2013 NAPHL Top Prospects
Tournament, presented by Easton, which will be held from May 11-13 at
the Dr Pepper StarCenter in Frisco, Texas.
The NAPHL Top Prospects Tournament is played in
conjunction with the North American Hockey League’s (NAHL) Robertson Cup
National Championship Tournament, which features each of the four
divisional playoff champions from the NAHL competing for the USA Hockey
Tier II Junior National Championship, along with the North American 3
Hockey League’s (NA3HL) Top Prospects Tournament, which will feature 80
top junior eligible players from the NA3HL.
The event has quickly become one of the most
highly-scouted events of its kind. Last season, dozens of junior, NCAA
and NHL scouts attended the combined event.
At the event, four teams representing four regions of the
NAPHL – California, Central, East and Michigan - will each play four
games. Each team consists of a 20-man roster (12 forwards, 6 defensemen
and 2 goalies) as chosen by the NAPHL Top Prospects Tournament Selection
Committee as nominated by the league’s 18 head coaches. All the
players in the NAPHL Top Prospects Tournament came from teams that
played in the 18U Division this past season.
