Showcases
The league held a showcase tournament at the Schwan Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota from September 25 to 28. All 35 league members as well as the USNTDP U-17 team played three games.
A prospect tournament was also held in mid-February that included one team from each division as well as two teams selected in consultation with the NHL Central Scouting Bureau.
Member changes
- In 2023, the NAHL granted a provisional franchise to Watertown, South Dakota following the completion of the Prairie Lakes Ice Arena.[1] Construction delays pushed back the opening of the new rink, however, the Watertown Shamrocks were eventually approved to play their first season in 2024–25.[2]
- The Minnesota Mallards were added as an expansion team in April of 2024 for this season.[3] A week later, the Elmira Aviators were approved as an additional expansion franchise.[4]
