Welcome to Season Eight of the North American Hockey Association!
Over the course of the offseason, the league expanded to 23 teams, adding the Alaska (Anchorage) Grizzlies, the Albuquerque Thunderbirds and the Saskatchewan (Saskatoon) Bisons.
The Baltimore Bulldogs are the defending Dunlap Cup Champions. Will they become the first two-time champions or will another team lift the Cup in the summer?
