About the NAPHL
Now in its third season, the North American Prospects Hockey League (PHL) is made up of 42 Midget Major (17), Midget Minor (18) and Bantam Major (7) teams from 20 programs that compete at the Tier I AAA level.
The PHL is comprised of five regular-season events leading up to its Championship Tournament Series in which the top teams at each level compete for a league championship.
The dates and sites of this year's five NAPHL regular-season events are: September 15-18, 2011 (Blaine, Minn.); October 21-24, 2011 (San Jose, Calif.); December 2-4, 2011 (Darien, Ill); December 28-31, 2011 (Frisco, TX) and January 13-16, 2012 (Troy, Mich.).
The PHL Championship Tournament Series will be held from February 17-20, 2012 at the Troy Sports Center in Troy, Mich, and in conjunction with the Combat Hockey/North American Hockey League (NAHL) Top Prospects Tournament and the 3HL Eastern Conference Showcase.
The season culminates with the PHL Top Prospects Tournament in conjunction with the 2012 NAHL Robertson Cup Championship Tournament, which this year will be hosted by the Texas Tornado in Frisco, TX, May 3-8.
In its second season in 2010-11, the PHL continued to establish itself as one of the premier grounds for development and exposure. Not only did players receive year-long recognition from the NHL Central Scouting Bureau, some also received scholarships to NCAA Division I schools and many were drafted and tendered by NAHL and United States Hockey League (USHL) teams.
The PHL, which is sanctioned by USA Hockey, utilizes the USA Hockey Officiating Development Program and is designed to maximize the exposure of all the Midget and Bantam participants through the NAHL's high-profile recruiting events which attract hundreds of college, junior and professional scouts.
Orchestrated by the NAHL's experienced and professional staff that makes player promotion a priority, the NAPHL provides an organized and competitive experience with an unrivaled scouting presence guaranteed to benefit all of the participating student-athletes and programs.
