NAHL Showcase - Ka-Boom!

The Hockey Universe is in Blaine, MN Sep 14-18


September 14-18, 2011 (excerpt from www.nahl.com)
"Celebrating its 9th Anniversary this fall, the Combat Hockey/North American Hockey League (NAHL) Showcase Tournament has evolved into one of hockey's most prestigious and well-attended events of the entire season. For scouting purposes, the four-day event, in which all 28 NAHL teams play four regular-season games, is a can't-miss 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.
Located in the northern Minneapolis-St. Paul suburb of Blaine, Minnesota, the Schwan 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 Schwan Super Rink is absolutely unique in the world of ice sport facilities.
The North American Prospects Hockey League's (NAPHL) first event of the season, which will run from September 15-18, will again be played in conjunction with the Combat Hockey/NAHL Showcase Tournament. In its third season, the NAPHL is made up of 42 Midget Major (16), Midget Minor (16) and Bantam Major (10) teams from 17 programs that compete at the Tier I AAA level."
