13, 12, 11U teams open up play in St. Louis
The 13, 12, and 11U North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL) T1ER teams opened up play at their first of two events during the 2022-23 season. The event is taking place from November 18-20 St. Peter’s Rec Plex in St. Peter’s, MO.
This is the fifth NAPHL T1ER event overall of the 2022-23 season, which is the 14th season of the NAPHL.
This weekend continues an exciting step for the NAPHL as events have expanded to include some of the younger players who have not had the opportunity to experience the NAPHL until now. This weekend’s showcase will be a great eye-opener for players, teams, and parents, who will get a first-hand experience of what an NAPHL event is like.
Presentations on Saturday: In an effort to provide more opportunity to NAPHL teams in St. Peters during the T1ER Showcase, the North American Hockey League is offering an education seminar to teams. These seminars will discuss the USA Hockey/NAHL partnership and the path to college hockey in the U.S. along the NAHL Ladder of Development. The NAHL staff and leadership will be conducting an NAHL and Junior Hockey Presentation on Saturday, November 19th in the upstairs hospitality room of the South Arena. All players, parents, coaches, and team representatives are welcome and encouraged to attend. Presentations should last 30-40 minutes with some time for questions. There will be time at the end of each session for a Q&A. We appreciate your support with these seminars and expect the information to be very valuable to the players.
12U - 11:30am
11U - 1:00pm
13U - 3:30pm
All games will be broadcast live on HockeyTV
