The Johnstown Tomahawks will continue their 2025 NAHL Showcase with a showdown versus the St. Cloud Norsemen on Friday, September 26th, in Blaine, MN. Puck drop will be at 4:00PM ET/3:00PM CT and can be streamed on NATV.
A LOOK BACK AT LAST SEASON
Friday afternoon’s showdown will also mark the first time these two teams have matched up in the history of both organizations. The Ice Wolves entered the North American Hockey League in 2020, while the Tomahawks are currently in year 13 in their history.
St. Cloud has failed to make the playoffs the last two seasons but they are off to a pretty good start having yet to lose a game in regulation, granted through only 3 games. The Tomahawks were ultimately outlasted by their East Division rival Rochester Jr. Americans in Game 5 of an extremely entertaining series in the 1st round of the NAHL playoffs.
2025-2026 KEYS TO THE MATCHUP
- Tomahawks first year Head Coach Adam Houli begins his tenure with new team captain Nick Jarmain as they look to bring the first Robertson Cup to Johnstown.
- The Norsemen are led thus far by defensemen William Esterbrooks who has 4 points in 3 games.
- The Tomahawks have gotten off to a blistering start in 2025 with a 3-1-1 record and scoring 21 goals in those five games while surrendering 16.
Coming off a disappointing loss last night after another impressive late comeback, the Tomahawks will look to win their first game of the showcase and hopefully do it comfortably.
