The eight annual North American Hockey League Showcase starts today. Each of the league's 26 teams will play four games, or one a day through Saturday.
The showcase has drawn more than 200 college and pro scours in past years.
The NAHL is filled with Minnesota players. It has 118 players from 62 communities throughout the state. The Coulee Region Chill has the most, 19, while the Alexandria Blizzard and the Owatonna Express have 14 apiece.
Daily admission is $8 for students and seniors, $15 for adults. For the schedule of games and more info, go to NAHLShowcase.com.
Host Michael Rand starts with the Timberwolves, who keep overcoming slow starts (and overreactions to those slow starts from fans) to win games. And Star Tribune Vikings writer Ben Goessling joins Rand for a midyear look ahead to 2025.
