Founded in 2012, The United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL) is an American junior ice hockey league that brings junior hockey to the next level. The USPHL is comprised of more than 170 teams and has a blueprint across the United States which includes divisions in NCDC, Premier, Elite, 18U, 16U, 16U Futures, and Youth.

​

The USPHL has been designed to start young players in the Youth Divisions and allow them to strive to grow their hockey careers to achieve a spot on our NCDC rosters.

​

Since the Fresno Monsters' inception in 2009, the primary goal of the Monsters is to prepare student-athletes to take their game and their education to the next level.
