USPHL SUCCESS QUANTIFIED

by Paul Taylor

MORE THAN 3,100 USPHL ALUMNI SKATED IN COLLEGE HOCKEY IN 2021-22

 

More than 3,100 USPHL alumni - from all levels of USPHL Hockey - hit the ice for teams at all divisions of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA), College Hockey Federation (CHF) and U Sports, of Canada. 

Several hours of research were undertaken by USPHL Media staff that involved reviewing college hockey rosters and utilizing the fantastic “Where Are They Now” tool on EliteProspects.com. From there, USPHL staff removed duplicate players, those who played in more than one USPHL league, in order to count each individual college hockey player only once. 

 The Tier II NCDC featured more than 390 individuals who had played exclusively in the NCDC prior to moving on to college hockey for 2021-22. Including players who had also played in other USPHL levels, that number climbs to 754. 

 Just over 1,000 individuals who had only played in the USPHL Premier skated in college hockey in 2021-22, and another 500 came out of the USPHL Elite only. Including players who had played in additional USPHL levels, the combined number for Premier and Elite was closer to 2,400. 

 There were more than 1,360 advancements by players who have skated in any or all of the USPHL Midget Divisions (18U, 16U and 15U - as well as the 15U predecessor, 16U Futures) to skate in college hockey in 2021-22. 

The USPHL CONTINUES TO PROVE ITSELF AS ONE OF THE BEST HOCKEY DEVELOPMENT PATHWAYS IN NORTH AMERICA!
