Sports season

The 2013–14 NAHL season was the 30th season of the North American Hockey League. The regular season ran from September 2013 to April 2014 with a 60-game schedule for each team. The Fairbanks Ice Dogs won the regular season championship and went on to defeat the Austin Bruins 2 games to 0 in the championship round to capture the Robertson Cup.

  • In July, 2012, the NAHL received an application for a new franchise in Laredo, Texas.[1] After receiving approval, the prospective club planned on being active by the start of this season. However, the club never materialized.
  • In mid-February, the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings announced that they would be folding at the end of the season.[6] The team attempted to sell the franchise rights but ended up dissolving when no prospective buyer surfaced.
  • On May 10, 2013, the Minnesota Wilderness, an active junior team from the Superior International Junior Hockey League (SIJHL), were granted permission to join the NAHL.[7] As part the arrangement, the team purchased the franchise rights from the dormant St. Louis Bandits who had last played in 2012.
  • Around the same time, the Jamestown Ironmen decided to suspend operations and released all of their players from their contracts.[8]

The standings at the end of the regular season were as follows:[10]

Note: x = clinched playoff berth; y = clinched division title; z = clinched regular season title
