The North American Hockey League (NAHL) and the defunct America West Hockey League merged in 2003 to form a 21-team Junior A league, sanctioned by USA Hockey . The NAHL currently acts as an alternative to, and often competitor of, the United States Hockey League (USHL). The league currently consists of three divisions with a total of 17 teams. The teams span the United States from Ohio in the east to Alaska in the West. It also spans from Alaska in the north to Texas in the south. The teams play a 62-game regular season, starting in mid-September and ending in early April.
