NEW 2024/25 NAHL/NA3HL Season thread

[Slowdive]

Selects are a team of assorted healthy scratches from across the league in case anybody didn’t know.

Correct, the games I saw the selects looked hungry. I was curious if those players would be into it. They were definitely into it and looking to make a good showing.

A standings update after the Showcase, in the West, teams 3-6 are only separated by three points. In the South, the Ice Bats hold down the last playoff spot by 10 points over the Roadrunners. In the Frontier, Badlands Showcase stumble tightens the group for that last fourth seed in the Division. And in the East New Hampshire holds down the fourth seed over LB by 7 points. Finally, the Woodsman hold a 10 point cushion over the Jr. Blues in the Central for the last seed.

Seeing as Christmas is coming, you could've skipped that last standings glance to leave me some cheer.

It is only December. Things in tier three juniors can change fast. Add a kid or two, and poof that 10 point deficit is gone.

NA3 back in action tonight with three games on the slate. Perhaps the most interesting is from the Central where 2nd place Wausau takes on 4th place Rochester. In that Central first place and fourth place are only separated by 6 points.

No plans tonight? Two games in the NA3, Willmar vs the Wilderness and Butte vs Great Falls. Both with playoff implications.

Can individual NA3 game streams be purchased for viewing, or does one have to subscribe for a package with more games at a higher price?

I believe you can do monthly, yearly, and individual games. Those individual games are $14.99.

Checking the Tier II Jr, A NAHL standings as their season rolls on ...

NOTES: The "biggest surprise" honors go to the Corpus Christi Ice Rays in the South, a perennial bottom dweller who is just one point behind the perennial pace-setter Lone Star Brahmas as January play begins this coming weekend. The El Paso Rhinos also are noteworthy in the relatively close 3rd place slot. The Rochester Jr. Americans deserve an honorable mention for leading the strong East Division in just their 2nd year of NAHL play. No major shakeups in the Central nor Midwest Divisions, though I am happy to see my sentimental favorite Springfield Jr. Blues clinging to a one-point lead for 4th place in their Division (for now).

In the East, I thought the Nords would be higher. They started well but have stumbled a bit of late and seem to be shuffling players in and out of the line-up.

 

[Slowdive]

So I checked EP with concern to players used for Maine. Last year the Nords used 42 skaters, same as this year in January. I obviously have time to kill.

HUTCH is always recruiting on the down-low.
