The NAPHL’s T1ER League is pleased to announce that Biggby Coffee Captain Nate Hart has signed a NAHL tender agreement for the 2025-26 season with the Anchorage Wolverines of the NAHL’s Midwest Division.

Hart, 17, recently completed his second season with Biggby’s 18U team in the T1ER league. Over the course of two seasons, the Ada, MI native appeared in 28 games, recording 12 points (4 goals, 8 assists). In the 2024-25 season, Hart led all defensemen on his team with 8 points.

One of his standout performances came on September 29th, when Biggby triumphed over the Nashville Jr. Predators 5-2. Hart assisted on the first goal of the game before scoring Biggby’s second goal at the 11:05 mark of the first period.

Thanks to his strong performance with Biggby this season, Hart was selected to represent the organization at the 2025 Top Prospects Tournament in St. Louis, MO. During the tournament, the ‘06 defenseman impressed with a two-point effort in game three, helping Team White secure a victory over Team Gold and advance to the Championship game.

Hart is one of nine 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.
