The USPHL has been designed to give hockey players the opportunity to begin their careers at the youth level and strive to make it to the NCDC level. 

 

Currently, the USPHL has the following divisions: NCDC, Premier, Elite, 18U, 16U, 15U, High-Performance Youth.

​

The USPHL is uniquely positioned to facilitate a clear path way for players graduating from Bantam who are looking to progress through Midget and Junior Hockey on to college and professional hockey.  Each division provides a critical step in the progression to fulfilling a player’s ultimate goal of becoming a collegiate or professional hockey player. 

Teams have been selected to participate in specific USPHL divisions based upon geography, strong player pools, rink ownership, financial strength and history of success and integrity at the highest level.

​

The ultimate goal of the USPHL is to prepare and develop players for college hockey (and beyond) through a tiered development program.

Unlike any other league in North America, within the USPHL it is possible for a player to advance through an organization starting at mites and ending in junior hockey. 

​

The United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL), which operates in 24 of the 50 United States, is the Nation’s largest amateur ice hockey league.  The league is comprised of more than 600 teams.  Players in the USPHL are 6 to 21 years of age.  Overall, the USPHL has had over 2,500 players advance to the collegiate level; and even more have advanced to other levels of the game.
