The LAHOA Board of Directors would like to congratulate Dylan Freed on his selection to work the NA3HL playoffs! What is the NA3HL? It is the Tier 3 league for the NAHL! Hence the 3… Dylan has worked 28 games this season in the NA3HL. Having refereed 19 and lined 9. He has been assigned to the semifinals in the Frontier division. The best-of-3 game series will feature the #2 seed Great Falls Americans vs the #3 seed Gillette Wild. Game 1 will be played in Gillette, WY on Thursday, April 1st, and will continue in Great Falls, MT for games 2 and 3. Dylan has been assigned to line game 1 and will referee game 2 and the if necessary game 3! The winner of the series will move on to the division finals with a chance to advance to the Fraser Cup which is the championships for the NA3HL. Dylan, perhaps, is in the running for that as well! In talking to Dylan, he is very humbled by this selection, as this season was his first in the league. This season has been a HUGE learning experience for him, given the circumstances. He said he will do his best to represent LAHOA well!

Congrats to Dylan on his playoff assignments!
