Hockey, for sure.

Some potential NCAA walk-ons.

Full of low level D1 players and higher end D3 players. Mostly 18-20 year olds, very few 16 and 17 year olds play in the NAHL, as they'd rather stay with their minor hockey or HS teams as opposed to play Tier 2 junior

the big negative with the nahl they keep adding teams white diluted the talent - i think up to 32-33 teams all over country - way too many but it basically ended ncdc - premier league

Blood and guts league, low level play although some games can be fun. Most guys choosing BCHL over NAHL if they cant make a USHL team.

This prompted me to take a look at the closest NAHL team to me, the NJ Titans.

They've got an interesting Russian player that's committed to Princeton. Another guy committed to Princeton and other players committed to Army, Sacred Heart, RPI, and Brown. Makes me want to check out a game.

I'm a NAHL season ticket holder for one of the more well run teams. Usually top attendance every year. You can expect competitive hockey but officiating is up and down. There are a few guys get drafted out of the league every year but not a ton. Worth going to for sure, it's not beer league. Most teams have several D1 commits. You'll also see some guys who are WJC foreign players. It's a highly competitive and fun league.
