The Americans are proud members of the North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL), which is the only Tier III affiliate of USA Hockey’s Tier II’s North American Hockey League (NAHL).
The Great Falls squad, under the direction of Jeff Heimel for the past three seasons, has an impressive record of 87-48-8 including winning the 2014-15 NA3HL Frontier Division championship in their first year in the league.
