Founded in 2012, the United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL) is comprised of 170 teams.  Our teams are geographically diverse, ranging from North to South to the Midwest and Pacific. Our Junior Divisions consists of – The National Collegiate Development Conference, (NCDC) which is a unique, tuition-free, Junior hockey division geared toward Division I collegiate development placement and beyond and our Premier and Elite Divisions. The ultimate goal of the USPHL is to prepare and develop players for college hockey (and beyond) through a tiered development program.
