NAHL Weekend Preview

March 6, 2020

The first full weekend of NAHL action in March takes place this weekend with a full slate of 25 games as all 26 NAHL teams are in action.

With just a month left in the 2019-20 regular season, there are still plenty of spots remaining in the 2020 Robertson Cup Playoffs in addition to the four divisional regular season titles.

It has been a couple of weeks since the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament and the NCAA commitments are still coming fast and furious. With six more commitments this past week, the NAHL currently stands at 208 NCAA commitments for the 2019-20 season.
