The Junior Divisions consist:
                    -  Elite Division
                    -  Premier Division
                    -  NCDC Division (the National Collegiate Development Conference) - a unique, tuition-free, Junior hockey division geared toward Division I collegiate development placement and beyond.

Players in the USPHL Premier, Elite and NCDC levels range from 16 to 20 years of age.  

Overall, the USPHL has had over 3,500 players advance to the collegiate level and NHL.
