April 2, 2015

The North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL) has announced All-NAPHL First, Second and Third Teams, as well as its All-Academic Team in the 18U division for the 2014-15 season. Consideration and selection is based on player performance in all NAPHL regular season and playoff games throughout the 2014-15 season.
“The NAPHL and its member teams have continued to raise the standard of excellence and competition and this year was no exception,” said NAHL Commissioner and President Mark Frankenfeld. “Our league-wide events provide the perfect forum and opportunity for these players to not only display their skill and effort in front of dozens of scouts per event, but it also to take advantage of some of the unique qualities of playing in the NAPHL like our event scouting system and our player and parent education seminars. The players that are recognized have worked long and hard to achieve excellence and recognition both on and off the ice.”
