AUGUST 5, 2019

The North American Hockey League (NAHL) has announced the game schedule for the 17th annual NAHL Showcase, which will be held from September 18-21, 2019, at the Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota. All 26 NAHL teams will play between three and four regular-season games at the Showcase, which is one of hockey’s most prominent and popular events of the entire season and has become the ‘Greatest Show on Ice.’
Scout Passes: Scout Passes for the 2019 NAHL Showcase will go on sale on Monday, August 19th and will be available for purchase online at the NAHL Showcase website.
All 52 NAHL Showcase games will be broadcast live and in HD through HockeyTV, the official broadcast provider of the NAHL.
One of the things the NAHL does better than any other junior league is seeing their players earn an NCAA opportunity while playing and being showcased in the NAHL. To date, a record number of 346 players made NCAA commitments during the 2018-19 season, with 227 (66%) of those being NCAA Division I commitments.
The NAHL Showcase plays a big role in that success, with dozens of players each season earning an NCAA Division I opportunity during and following their participation in the event.
In addition to all 26 NAHL teams playing in the event, the United States National Team Development Program (NTDP) of the United States Hockey League (USHL) will be playing in the event in two exhibition games against the Odessa Jackalopes on Friday, September 20th and the Amarillo Bulls on Saturday, September 21st.
The NAHL Showcase attracts over 9,000 people in overall attendance, including more than 330 professional, college and junior scouts.  For scouting purposes, the NAHL Showcase is the premier event of its kind and 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.

It will be the first event of the season for the North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL), which will also be played in conjunction with the Showcase. Entering its 11th season, the NAPHL is made up of USA Hockey-sanctioned teams that compete in the 18U, 16U and 15U levels. NAPHL teams will compete at the NAHL Showcase from September 19-22.
The Super Rink is the largest ice arena of its kind in the world. The state-of-the-art facility, a $21 million project totaling over 300,000 square feet, features eight sheets of ice under one roof. With all its varied amenities and services, the Super Rink is absolutely unique in the world of ice sport facilities.
