Biggby Coffee 18U forward Meinhardt signs NAHL Tender

The NAPHL’s T1ER League is pleased to announce that the Biggby Coffee 18U forward Reid Meinhardt has signed a NAHL tender agreement for the 2025-26 season with the Bismarck Bobcats of the NAHL’s Central Division.

Meinhardt, 18, is a second year T1ER player for Biggby’s 18U squad, appearing in a total of 24 games to date, recording 12 points. Of his 12 points, four have come during the 2024-25 campaign, including a pair of multi-point contests. His first two-point showing came back on September 27th as he scored the fifth goal during his squad’s 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Stars while also recording one assist. His second two-point outing came more recently, on December 14th, when he netted a goal and recorded another assist in Biggby’s 7-5 victory over the Philadelphia Jr. Flyers.

Meinhardt is one of eight skaters from Biggby’s 18U team who has signed an NAHL tender agreement for the upcoming season.

A tender is a contract, of sorts, a player signs announcing his intentions to play for that particular NAHL team and that NAHL team only. Once a player signs a tender with an NAHL team, his playing rights belong to that team within the NAHL and he may not be recruited by any other NAHL team. Each team is granted ten (10) tenders, which include two (2) tenders exclusively used on players from the T1ER - plus or minus any trades - which became active on November 1st. Tendered players are not eligible for the 2025 NAHL Draft.
