The Pelham Prowlers enter their first season of competition in the North American Tier III Hockey League (NA3HL) for 2025-26. The team was formed to fill a need in the Southeast United States to allow young hockey players more opportunities to grow their skills and advance their career. The team was officially approved and announced March 13, 2025, by NA3HL.
The NA3HL is the only USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III Junior league and serves as one of the top training grounds in the country by providing the best coaching, exposure and developmental vehicles available for student-athletes. The NA3HL advances more players to the NAHL, NCAA and ACHA than any other junior league of its kind.
Check MyHockeyRankings.com and you'll see the NA3HL has more teams listed in the Top 10, 3 out of the last 4 seasons, than any other league in the USA Tier III Junior Hockey category. Come play with the best and be seen.
Our philosophy is to focus on the players' needs first. We only sign and roster the maximum of 25 protected players to allow everyone a better rotation for real game experience. Through our partnerships, we focus on mind, body, and nutrition to maximize player potential. Fully vetted billets make sure the players feel as welcome and comfortable away from home as possible.
The Pelham Prowlers are excited to work with the Pelham Civic Complex & Ice Arena and call it home. The Pelham Civic Complex & Ice Area has two NHL-sized rinks, seating 4,100 and 500 respectively. The Ice Arena is home to the SPHL Birmingham Bulls, ACHA D1 & D3 University of Alabama, and the SYTHL Birmingham Junior Bulls.
