Frisco, TX - The North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL) T1ER League has announced the 2024-2025 All-T1ER Teams and Coaches of the Year from the ‘24-‘25 regular season.

The All-T1ER 1st and 2nd Teams were selected from the 16U and 18U divisions based on their outstanding performances during the regular season and the 2025 Dixon Cup Playoffs.

At the U16 level, forward Joseph Crimboli and goaltender Nikita Oleksiienko were named to the 16U All-T1ER 1st Team.

Crimboli enjoyed a solid NAT1HL season, helping lead the Stars to the Regular season and post season titles, as he posted 21 points (12 goals, 9 assists) in 17 regular season and Dixon Cup Playoff games, including 1 power play goal and 1 game-winning goal, in helping lead the Stars to the regular season championship and the finals of the NAT1HL Dixon Cup Playoffs.

Oleksiienko enjoyed an outstanding NAT1HL season, helping lead the Stars to the regular season championship and the finals of the NAT1HL Dixon Cup Playoffs, posting a 10-3-0-0 record, a goals against average of 1.50, a save percentage of .957, and recording three shutouts (all in succession in the NAT1HL Dixon Cup Playoffs).

At the U18 level, Defenseman Ethan Bombalski was named to the 18U All-T1ER 2nd Team.

Bombalski helped anchor the Star's U18 squad’s defensive corps as he posted 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) in 12 regular season and 4 Dixon Cup Playoff games, including 1 power play goal and 1 game winning goal.

The NAPHL and its T1ER League were founded in 2009 and completed its 16th campaign with the 2024-25 season.

The T1ER season featured six regular-season events held across the United States, spanning from New Hampshire to New Mexico, with multiple stops in between. With NAHL & NA3HL scouts in attendance at every event, players received invaluable exposure to the North American Hockey League and family of leagues. Thanks to this visibility and the league's strong affiliation with the NAHL, nearly 50 players have already signed tenders for the 2025-26 season.

"This has been another great season of T1ER Hockey!” Dennis Vickers, Director of Player Personnel for the NAHL said. “Our coaches and players continue to do an outstanding job representing the T1ER League, and our teams have been instrumental in advancing players to the NAHL.”

“With 75 players tendered last year and nearly 50 already this season, we are on track for another record-breaking year—something we take great pride in," Vickers added.

The NAPHL T1ER congratulates all players and coaches recognized and looks forward to another successful season of development, advancement, and exposure.
