Amidst the backdrop of the NA3HL Top Prospects 2024 in St. Peters, MO, Brahmas Head Coach Chad Bailey was making moves on the recruiting front. Bailey was all smiles as he delivered the news to Brahmas media, “We reached a tender agreement this weekend with Gregory Timmons of the Cleveland Barons 18U AAA.”
TImmons is a 2005 birth year Defenseman from Pittsburgh, PA standing 5’11” and weighing 185 lbs. Prior to this season at Cleveland Barons 18U AAA, Timmons gained heavy minutes and an affinity for blue line scoring production with the Pittsburgh Predators (14UAAA, 15UAAA, & 18UAAA) as well as the Green Bay Jr. Gamblers (16UAAA) while notching two seasons of USHS-PA rosters for Upper St. Claire HIgh.
While the NA3HL’s primary goal is to move players onto college hockey, no other league of its kind has had more movement and advanced more players onto play in the NAHL than the NA3HL, which includes 40+ alumni currently on NAHL rosters.
Thanks to additional and enhanced initiatives that were recently put in place in cooperation with the NAHL, more players from the NA3HL play, practice, and earn NCAA Division I scholarships with the NAHL than any other league.
As part of the enhanced initiatives, all NAHL teams are working in cooperation with NA3HL teams for increased access to players, including allowing NA3HL players to practice with NAHL teams under specific eligibility rules. The program creates additional dialogue between NAHL and NA3HL teams to find prospects and provide them an in-season opportunity for NAHL experience and evaluation. It offers one-of-a-kind opportunities not found anywhere else in USA Hockey-sanctioned junior hockey.
