NAHL Tender Distributions
On November 1st, the North American Hockey League (NAHL) officially released their tenders to partner organizations. A tender is a type of contract signaling a player’s commitment to a specific NAHL team. Once signed, that team holds the player’s rights within the NAHL, ensuring they cannot be recruited by any other NAHL team. Each team can issue up to ten tenders, with two exclusively reserved for T1ER players, pending any trades. The window to sign tenders is officially open, and players who sign will be ineligible for the 2025 NAHL Draft.
The NAPHL T1ER League continues to be the premier development path for players aspiring to reach the NAHL. During the 2023-24 season, 190 NAPHL alumni competed in the NAHL, with an additional 95 T1ER players drafted or tendered by NAHL teams.
This pathway continues to elevate opportunities for T1ER athletes, connecting them directly to the NAHL’s high-level competition and professional development track.
