NAHL releases 2024-2025 regular season schedule
The North American Hockey League (NAHL) has announced the release of the 2024-25 regular season schedule.
Celebrating its 50th season in 2024-25, the NAHL is the oldest and one of the largest junior hockey leagues of its kind in the United States and one of only two USA Hockey-certified leagues that operate under the free-to-play model. The NAHL is also one of the best in the world at advancing players to NCAA and professional hockey.
With 349 NCAA commitments so far during the 2023-24 season, the league has set a new standard with 300+ NCAA commitments in each of the last eight seasons. That also includes 270 NCAA Division I commitments this past season. In addition, six players with NAHL ties were listed in the NHL Central Scouting Final Rankings for the 2024 NHL Draft.

Each of the 35 teams in the league's four divisions (Central, East, Midwest, and South) will play 59 regular season games. The regular season will commence on September 13, 2024, and end on April 12, 2025.
The 21st annual NAHL Showcase Tournament will be held from September 25-28, 2024, at the Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota. All 35 NAHL teams will play three regular-season games at the Showcase, which is one of hockey's most prominent and popular events of the entire season. For scouting purposes, the event is a yearly gathering for every NCAA program and NHL team as they get their first look at some of the best and brightest hockey talent North America has to offer.
