18U AAA and 16U AAA Players Rewarded for October Performances

By admin 11/05/2020, 1:30pm EST

Grainda signs NAHL Tender and Boone named NAPHL Performer of the Month.

Congratulations to Jr Fuel players JJ Grainda (18U AAA)  and Ty Boone (16U AAA) on huge honors for their performance so far this season. 

18U AAA forward JJ Grainda has signed a tender with the Chippewa Steel of the NAHL. An NAHL tender agreement is a contract stating that the signed player’s NAHL rights belong to only that team for the upcoming season. It’s a way for teams to lock up players before the spring entry draft. 

16U AAA player Ty Boone was named NAPHL Apex Peak Performer for his play in league games during the month of October. The Jr Fuel played nine league games during this time. Ty posted six goals and three assists for a total of 9 points leading the way to a recent weekend sweep of division rival Des Moines Bucs AAA. 

Congratulations Ty and JJ! Keep up the great work!
