Chill reaches for the Stars
Coulee Region Chill of the North American Hockey League has confirmed an affiliation agreement with the Dallas Jr. Stars of the North American 3 Hockey League.
The Chill now has an affiliation with two teams in the NA3HL, the nearby La Crosse Freeze being the other.
Chill owner Michelle Bryant explained the latest affiliation.
“We see substantial value for players in the relationship between the NAHL and the NA3HL. We view an added affiliation with the Jr. Stars as a great way to expand player identification, training and advancement from another part of the country,” said Bryant.
“This new affiliation with the Jr. Stars will establish an enhanced opportunity for their players to be monitored closely, so that we may identify those who have the potential of playing at the next level.
“This agreement extends our reach into the southern region where a growing number of players are being developed and hockey has become more popular,” added Bryant.
