The 2026 Detroit NAHL Combine is Days Away, Don’t Miss Your Chance to Attend
The NAHL Combine season is off to a strong start following a successful weekend in St. Louis, where the NAHL Combine and T1ER Top Prospects Tournament once again delivered on exposure, development, and advancement. Across both events, players competed in a true junior hockey environment—skating in front of NAHL and NA3HL coaches, receiving direct feedback, and taking part in the full recruiting experience. The impact was immediate, as seven players earned NAHL/NA3HL tenders during or shortly after the event, reinforcing the value of the platform:
STL Combine Tenders - Padraig McIntire – Butte Irish (NA3HL), Ian Zarvos – Gillette Wild (NA3HL), Lance Feagans – Sheridan Hawks (NA3HL) & Bradley Hart – Texas RoadRunners (NA3HL)
T1ER Top Prospects Tenders - Gavin Zuber – New Mexico Ice Wolves (NA3HL), Cody Sweeney – Maryland Black Bears (NAHL), Kruz Barnes – Butte Irish (NA3HL)
