Carshield AAA 18U Defenseman Kaiman Signs NAHL Tender

The NAPHL’s T1ER League is pleased to announce that Carshield AAA 18U defenseman Connor Kaiman has signed a NAHL tender agreement with the Austin Bruins for the 2027–28 season.

Kaiman, 17, is in his second season with the Carshield AAA program. Carshield is currently ranked number 1 in the league standings. This season, the 6-foot-2 defenseman out of St. Louis, Missouri has laced up for 12 games, and scored two goals. 

Kaiman is the one out of three players from Carshield’s 18U team to secure an NAHL tender agreement for the upcoming season so far.

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 2027 NAHL Draft.
