NAHL Weekend Preview

February 21, 2020
The NAHL comes into the weekend riding a high of another outstanding Top Prospects Tournament. In the few days following the event, four players who played in the Top Prospects Tournament have since announced their NCAA Division 1 commitments, with many more to come in the next few weeks.
 
Currently, the NAHL has 192 NCAA commitments so far during the 2019-20 season.
 
On the ice this weekend, the business of qualifying for the 2020 Robertson Cup Playoffs resumes for the teams in the Central, East and Midwest Division. Meanwhile, the race for the top spot and #1 seed in each division is also hotly contested.
 
This weekend features 24 games on the schedule from Friday-Sunday.

The Maine Nordiques look to gain ground on a playoff spot as they host the Northeast Generals for three games. The Johnstown Tomahawks are idle.
 
In the Midwest Division, the Fairbanks Ice Dogs look to close in on a division title and continue their 17-game point streak as they are in Springfield for three games against the Jr. Blues. The battle of Wisconsin resumes between the 3rd place Chippewa Steel and 4th place Janesville Jets this weekend with a home-and-home series. Meanwhile, the final series has the 2nd place Kenai River Brown Bears in Minnesota to face the Magicians. The Magicians are just two points back of the Jets for the 4th and final playoff spot.
 
In the South Division, the battle for the division title resumes this weekend with the 1st place Amarillo Bulls hosting the Shreveport Mudbugs, in what may be a potential playoff preview.
