Founded in 2012, the USPHL has grown to over 60 organizations from across the United States/Canada fielding teams in the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC), Premier, Elite, EHF, 18U, 16U, 15U, and High Performance youth divisions. </p><p>From 2013 to 2017, <a href="/wiki/USA_Hockey" title="USA Hockey">USA Hockey</a> sanctioned the Premier, Elite, Empire, Midwest, and USP3 Divisions as <a href="/wiki/Junior_ice_hockey#Tier_III" title="Junior ice hockey">Tier III junior</a> leagues. In 2017, the USPHL added a higher level junior league named the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC) for the 2017–18 season. The NCDC was seeking free-to-play <a href="/wiki/Junior_ice_hockey#Tier_II" title="Junior ice hockey">Tier II junior</a> league sanctioning, but was denied by USA Hockey. In response, the USPHL junior level leagues withdrew from USA Hockey sanctioning altogether.<sup id="cite_ref-USPHL_leaves_USA_Hockey_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-USPHL_leaves_USA_Hockey-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The 18U, 16U and 15U divisions are still considered Tier I youth hockey divisions by USA Hockey.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Beginning in the 2024–25 season, the league plans to expand into Canada’s <a href="/wiki/Quebec" title="Quebec">Quebec</a>/<a href="/wiki/Ontario" title="Ontario">Ontario</a> provinces, effectively creating an entire new division.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=United_States_Premier_Hockey_League&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Establishment_(2013–2017)"><span id="Establishment_.282013.E2.80.932017.29"></span>Establishment (2013–2017)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=United_States_Premier_Hockey_League&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Establishment (2013–2017)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>During the 2012–13 season, several organizations within the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Junior_Hockey_League" title="Eastern Junior Hockey League">Eastern Junior Hockey League</a> (EJHL) decided to form their own league and created the United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL). Those organizations also added their youth programs under the USPHL name as the 18U and 16U divisions. The original <a href="/wiki/Junior_ice_hockey#Tier_III" title="Junior ice hockey">Tier III junior</a> teams were categorized in the Premier Division when the USPHL absorbed the <a href="/wiki/Empire_Junior_Hockey_League" title="Empire Junior Hockey League">Empire Junior Hockey League</a> (becoming the Empire Division) and the newly formed <a href="/wiki/EJHL_South" title="EJHL South">Eastern Elite Hockey League</a> (becoming the Elite Division). With the additions, the USPHL added 16 more organizations to the original 15 before the inaugural 2013–14 season. The formation of the USPHL also led the remaining EJHL teams to join the Atlantic Junior Hockey League and create the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Hockey_League_(2013%E2%80%93)" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Hockey League (2013–)">Eastern Hockey League</a> (EHL). </p><p>For the league's second season in 2014–15, the USPHL added the 16U Futures (16UF) Division<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> for players who aspire to play midget hockey, but are not yet ready for the 16U Division. Eight organizations fielded teams in the 16UF Division for its first season. During the 2014 off-season the USPHL lost the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Applecore" class="mw-redirect" title="New York Applecore">New York Applecore</a> (Empire), but added the Providence Capitals (Elite & 16U), Jersey Shore Whalers (Empire), and the Richmond Generals (Elite, Empire) organizations to increase the total number of organizations to 35 headed into the 2014–15 season. </p><p>During the 2014–15 season, the USPHL announce the creation of a Midwest Division to begin in the 2015–16 season by adding several teams from the <a href="/wiki/Minnesota_Junior_Hockey_League" title="Minnesota Junior Hockey League">Minnesota Junior Hockey League</a> (MnJHL).<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By the end of the season, the Midwest Division would add all but one active MnJHL team causing the MnJHL to disband for the following season. On March 10, 2015, the USPHL also added the entire <a href="/wiki/Midwest_Junior_Hockey_League" title="Midwest Junior Hockey League">Midwest Junior Hockey League</a> to its new Midwest Division for the 2015–16 season.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> USPHL Midwest became the fourth Tier III division under the USPHL umbrella. </p><p>The changes for the 2015–16 continued into April when the New York Aviators announced their decision to leave the USPHL and join the <a href="/wiki/North_American_3_Eastern_Hockey_League" title="North American 3 Eastern Hockey League">North American 3 Eastern Hockey League</a> (NA3EHL). The USPHL promptly reassigned the Aviator franchise to <a href="/wiki/Rye,_New_York" title="Rye, New York">Rye, New York</a>, and was renamed to the New York Dragons.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In early April 2015, the Empire Division would expand to <a href="/wiki/Daytona,_Florida" class="mw-redirect" title="Daytona, Florida">Daytona, Florida</a> with the Daytona Racers. Also in April, it was announced the Empire Division would be renamed as the USP3 Division. In late April 2015, the Charlotte Rush was announced as an expansion franchise by adding two teams, one in the Elite Division and one in the USP3. The <a href="/wiki/Wooster_Oilers" title="Wooster Oilers">Wooster Oilers</a> from the former MnJHL decided against fielding two Tier III teams and dropped their membership in the USPHL Midwest and would only play in the <a href="/wiki/North_American_3_Hockey_League" title="North American 3 Hockey League">North American 3 Hockey League</a>. Initially announced with 22 member teams, the new Midwest Division saw a number of teams cease operations prior to the 2015–16 season including the Indiana Attack, Ironwood Fighting Yoopers, <a href="/wiki/Minnesota_Owls" title="Minnesota Owls">Minnesota Owls</a>, Soo Firehawks, and St. Louis Storm due to lack of players. The Midwest Division did not have its own championship playoffs, but instead the top two teams in each conference from the Midwest and USP3 Divisions played for a single championship. </p><p>On January 14, 2016, the league announced the formation of a High Performance Youth Division for the upcoming 2016–17 season. The new division added 14 and under (Bantams), 12 and under (Peewees), along with 10 and under (Squirts) to the USPHL umbrella. Charter members of the High Performance Youth Division were to include the New Jersey Rockets, Hartford Junior Wolfpack, Jersey Hitmen, and P.A.L. Jr. Islanders.
