Many colleges have competitive club teams. Players should look into that as they are trying to find the right school.

The North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL), one of two USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III Junior Leagues, serves as one of the top training grounds in the country by providing the best coaching, exposure and developmental vehicles available for student-athletes in its classification.

A step above the NA3HL in terms of level of play and development. Located in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, the Eastern Hockey League (EHL) and its 18 teams celebrates its 8th season in 2020-2021. For the past five years, the EHL has finished as the leader in the Direct-To-College Advancement at the Division II and III levels. This past season alone, the EHL accounted for nearly 1 in every 5 freshmen on Division II and III rosters.

The USPHL has grown to over 60 organizations from across the United States fielding teams in the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC), Premier, Elite, EHF, 18U, 16U, 15U, and High Performance youth divisions. From 2013-2017, USA Hockey sanctioned the Premier, Elite, Empire, Midwest, and USP3 Divisions as Tier III junior leagues. In 2017, the USPHL added a higher level junior league named the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC) for the 2017-2018 season. The NCDC was seeking free-to-play Tier II junior league sanctioning, but was denied by USA Hockey. In response, the USPHL junior level leagues withdrew from USA Hockey sanctioning altogether. The 18U, 16U, and 15U divisions are still considered Tier I youth hockey divisions by USA Hockey.
