We are thrilled to announce that Eli McCarthy from the 18U Thunderbird team has been selected to participate in the 2025 North American Prospect Hockey League (NAPHL) Top Prospect Tournament for the second year in a row.
This premier showcase event will take place from April 11-13, 2025, at OhioHealth Chiller North. The event highlights the top talent from the Show League and draws a significant number of NAHL and NA3HL coaches and scouts. Combined with the Columbus NAHL Combine, it offers unparalleled exposure to players aiming to advance their hockey careers.
18U Head Coach Tom Latvala commented on Eli's selection, saying, "Eli is very deserving of this honor. His work ethic, compete level, consistency, and attention to detail are what set him apart from others. His hockey sense and how he anticipates and processes the ice is a huge attribute to his overall game."
The Thunderbird family wishes Eli nothing but the best at this prestigious event.
