The NAHL Top Prospects Tournament will be held from February 17-18, 2020 at the New England Sports Village in Attleboro, Massachusetts. The NAHL Top Prospects Tournament is one of the most highly scouted events of the season.
Last year, over 230 scouts attended the event, which featured almost every NHL team and NCAA Division I school. The event continues to provide the hundreds of NHL and NCAA scouts in attendance with a look at the best uncommitted players the NAHL has to offer, as well as some potential NHL Draft picks.
Watch all four representatives and the rest of the Bobcats in action as they host the Aberdeen Wings at home this weekend. Tickets are on sale now.
