Founded in 2012, United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL) operates in 28 of the 50 United States, is the Nation’s largest amateur ice hockey league.  Teams are geographically diverse, from coast to coast across the United States.

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

​

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.
