Was the NCDC created to give players from the Northeast US more exposure? The Northeast used to just be EJHL. I guess it was not good enough, and they created USPHL. And now there is NCDC.
There are no size differences, some leagues have a different culture and reputation around how they are and that is how the games carry out. There’s no specific reffing standards as they should be the same across the board and based on referee regulations.
@@ahadvising8 Name Image and Likeness. Pretty much brand deals/sponsorship agreements. He's asking whether OHL, WHL and QMJHL players are allowed to receive money for brand deals, which they are I think
Yes so major Jr. teams give out stipends (not much but a bit), and some players sign sponsorship deals. Because of this, it makes them ineligible for NCAA Hockey. All other Jr. Leagues do their best to keep players under amateur status. That being said, the model may shift in the near future to allow hockey players to get paid like they do in football
Great question! I would say that its unlikely a player is able to progress that much in just a couple years. However, you do see progressions from NCDC to NAHL and NAHL to USHL, but not NCDC-NAHL-USHL!
The NAHL and BCHL are the most comparable with the NCDC just below in terms of overall skills. EHL and USPHL Premier are most comparable to all the others in this video. Tbh, the CCHL would be more comparable the NA3HL, GMHL or the elite levels of the EHL or USPHL.
Not exactly, if you watched these leagues, you would notice a striking difference in terms of caliber and overall scouting. The CCHL has many more D1 & high end D3 commits than the other tier 2 leagues. What’s more, the BCHL & NAHL are a good step above the NCDC in terms of caliber and commits as well

NCDC & EJHL fall under a very similar staff. Think of the NCDC as the new EJHL
Does NAHL teams pay for their players’s billet fees as well as their equipment such as skates and expensive stuff? Thanks
Yes most of them pay for all that stuff!
@@ahadvising8 even their wheels as well??
Probably not the wheels, they might give you a better deal though. It would all depend on the specific team and how good you are!
Great breakdown, thanks.
Glad you liked the video!
Do leagues actually have size minimums and maximums for recruitment? Or do they have different reffing standards that allows more physical play?
There are no size differences, some leagues have a different culture and reputation around how they are and that is how the games carry out. There’s no specific reffing standards as they should be the same across the board and based on referee regulations.
Would the NCDC west be pretty similar to the rest of the NCDC? Heard there was some good talent on the west
We made a video on it, feel free to check it out. But yes they’ll be similar, probably a bit lower down in caliber to start
Do Junior/Major Juniors have NIL like college?
NIL?

Do players move through ncdc to the to nahl and USHL? Is there a progression possibility there?

The NOJHL is #1. Yeah the other leagues might have more talent but the NOJHL teams would just beat up the teams from those other leagues. Lol.
Hahaha facts
Haha! The prairie boys will straighten out those Ontario-ians real quick! Lol!! But at the end of the game we are all brothers in arms.🇨🇦
Physically sure, but the BCHL would rack up 10+ goals on all of those teams.
