These Combines will feature guaranteed scouting opportunities by coaches from the USPHL’s Tier-2 tuition free National Collegiate Development Conference, along with additional scouting opportunities with USPHL Premier and Elite teams.

Non-refundable* registration is $250 for each Combine. The USPHL is dedicated to providing a great value to prospective players to show their skills in front of NCDC coaches and begin new relationships.
Players will be guaranteed a minimum of three scrimmage games, and there will be goaltender-specific training sessions at each event. There will also be an informational seminar about the United States Premier Hockey League and its unparalleled USPHL Development Model.
The USPHL NCDC Detroit Combine (April 23-24) will be held at a rink in the suburban Detroit area, which will be announced in the coming weeks.

Combine Offerings
The cost for each two-day combine is $250, with a three-game guarantee as well as off-ice activities, and player evaluations. Also included: accredited on-ice officials, and medical staff on site.
There will also be a Q&A/information seminar during each combine, where players and their parents, if in attendance, can ask questions directly of NCDC coaches and USPHL League officials.
The USPHL and its tuition-free division, the NCDC, are providing an unparalleled, comprehensive on-and off-ice recruiting opportunity for players from throughout the United States. Sign up today, as registration will be limited.
About the NCDC
The NCDC is the only tuition-free junior hockey league that is fully located in the Northeastern United States, limiting travel to New York, New Jersey and the New England states. This allows players to spend more time on development, both on-and off-ice, than traveling on a bus.
With the unmatched USPHL Showcase Series, NCDC players have several opportunities each season to play in front of several scouts at well-attended multi-day, multi-tiered events. Even in the most uncertain of times, the NCDC continued to play a full season thanks to the USPHL’s unique and proactive creation of the Hub City Tampa event.
There were more than 700 former players from the USPHL’s top division skating with NCAA hockey teams during the 2019-20 season, the last full NCAA campaign. This included individual season-ending award-winners from multiple NCAA Division 1 conferences.
More than 150 players committed to college hockey out of the 2019-20 NCDC season alone, and there are currently over 50 Division I-committed players skating in the NCDC.
The NHL has also taken notice as the League set a record with 13 players on the NHL Central Scouting List - 12 of those players competing in the NCDC - which was more than any North American Jr. A hockey league outside of the USHL. Alumni of USPHL organizations currently skating in the NHL include players such as Jack Eichel, Charlie Coyle, John Marino, Jimmy Vesey, and Stanley Cup Champions Zach Sanford, Trevor Van Riemsdyk and Brian Dumoulin.
About The USPHL
The United States Premier Hockey League of 2020-2021 is the nation’s largest amateur ice hockey league and the only league to span the continental United States and parts of Canada.
The USPHL fields approximately 550 teams representing over 100 organizations comprised of 11,000 players spanning the ages of 6 through 20. Overall, across all its divisions, the USPHL had more than 1,200 alumni playing college hockey in 2019-20 and more than 250 playing pro hockey, including in the NHL.
* = Refunds will be available for those who medically cannot attend the Combines, with a doctor’s note.
