2026 USPHL NCDC Combine & Prospects Camps | Registration Now Open
Registrations are now open for the 2026 USPHL NCDC Combine and Prospects Camps.
These events give players the opportunity to showcase their skills, learn from experienced coaches, and take the next step toward junior and college hockey. Each Combine is run by NCDC staff and provides direct exposure to coaches and scouts from the NCDC, USPHL Premier, and USPHL Elite.
Players receive a four-game guarantee, on-ice coaching, and valuable education on the USPHL pathway to college hockey, while parents have the chance to connect with team and league representatives.
Why the USPHL?
The USPHL is one of the leading development pathways to college hockey in North America. During the 2024-25 season, more than 500 players across the league advanced to college hockey, including 200+ from the NCDC, with 42 moving on to NCAA Division I programs.
With a clear progression from USPHL Elite → Premier → NCDC, players develop at the right pace while gaining national exposure.
