The North American Prospects Hockey League (PHL) has announced the schedule for the 2011-12 season, including the first event of the season at the ninth annual Combat Hockey/NAHL Showcase, which will be held from September 14-18 at the Schwan Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota.
The event will feature all 28 NAHL teams, each playing in four cross divisional regular season games. It will also feature the 44 teams from the Tier I North American Prospects Hockey League (PHL), eight teams from the Tier III junior North American 3 Hockey League (3HL) and eight additional teams from the Upper Midwest High School Elite League, who will complete the five-day, 88-team showcase event.
The Combat Hockey/NAHL Showcase Tournament has evolved into one of hockey's most prestigious and well-attended events of the entire season. For scouting purposes, the event is a can't-miss for every NCAA program and NHL team as they get their first look at some of the best and brightest hockey talent North America has to offer. Traditionally, the Combat Hockey/NAHL Showcase Tournament attracts over 10,000 people in overall attendance, including more than 200 college and professional scouts.

Now in its third season, the PHL is made up of 44 teams (18 Midget Major-18U, 18 Midget Minor-16U, and eight Bantam Major-14U) from 20 programs in 15 states and British Columbia that compete at the Tier I AAA level. The PHL is comprised of five regular-season events leading up to its Championship Tournament Series in which the top teams at each level compete for a league championship. The PHL season concludes with its Top Prospects Tournament, which will be held in conjunction with the NAHL Robertson Cup Championship Tournament in Frisco, Texas in May 2012.
