It is the opening weekend of the 2020-21 NA3HL regular season as 16 games are on the schedule on Friday and Saturday. It has been exactly 200 days since the NA3HL played its last game on March 12^th and canceled its 2020 Fraser Cup Playoffs.

The 2020-21 season got started on Thursday, October 1^st with the Rochester Grizzlies defeating the St. Louis Jr. Blues, 4-1.

The NA3HL is entering its 11^th season in 2020-21 and serves as one of the top training grounds in the country by providing the best coaching, exposure and developmental vehicles available for student-athletes in Tier III junior hockey. It is one of only two USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III junior leagues.

No other league has had more movement and advanced more players onto play in the NAHL than the NA3HL. Earlier this summer, not only did 27 NA3HL players sign a tender to play in the NAHL for the upcoming 2020-21 season, but 28 more players were selected in the 2020 NAHL Entry Draft on July 21st.

The NA3HL also continues to make its mark and is one of the leaders in junior hockey with the advancement of players onto the NCAA. So far in 2020, the NA3HL has over 120+ college commitments, with almost 70% of those being NCAA commitments.

This weekend features action in the Central, East, Frontier and West Divisions.
