USPHL Premier National Championships

The USPHL Premier National Championships serve as the culminating event of the United States Premier Hockey League’s Premier Conference season. Bringing together the top Tier III junior teams from across North America, the tournament crowns the overall league champion from among more than 60 programs competing annually across multiple geographic divisions.

Each spring, divisional playoff winners and wild-card qualifiers advance to the National Championships, which feature an intense multi-day format of round-robin and elimination play. The event is recognized as one of the largest and most competitive showcases of junior hockey talent in the United States, attracting scouts and coaches from the NCAA, ACHA, and professional ranks.

The National Championships not only determine the Premier Division’s national title holder, but also celebrate player development, sportsmanship, and the depth of competition that defines the USPHL. Since its inception, the tournament has produced memorable championship runs from programs such as the Hampton Roads Whalers, Charlotte Rush, Rockets Hockey Club, P.A.L. Jr. Islanders, Connecticut Jr. Rangers, and Vernal Oilers, among others.
