The United States Premier Hockey League is pleased to announce the schedule for the 2025 NCDC/USPHL All-Star Event, which will be held at the Foxboro Sports Center, in Foxboro, Mass., over January 27-28, 2025. The event will feature both the NCDC and the USPHL Premier conferences for the first time since 2021. The All-Star event has been a focal point of the NCDC calendar since the league’s 2017-18 inception and has featured several players who have gone on to excel in not just the NCAA, but also in the NHL.
NHL teams have drafted 58 USPHL players over the course of the league’s history, and more than 9,000 USPHL junior players from all conferences have played college hockey since the league’s inaugural 2013-14 season, including more than 1,575 from the NCDC alone advancing to NCAA hockey. The NCDC/USPHL All-Star Game has always been a diamond mine for scouts to find their next difference-makers in the college and pro game – including the 192 league alumni playing NCAA Division I men’s hockey in 2024-25.
“The NCDC/USPHL All-Star Event is a can’t-miss for scouts of both the pro and college levels,” said USPHL Deputy Commissioner Tony Zasowski. “Every year, the NCDC and USPHL Premier place more than 500 combined players into college hockey, and our alumni go on to become some of the game’s top contributors. More than 40 NCDC alumni, for instance, won championships and awards from their conferences and teams, including two conference players of the year, two Hobey Baker Top 10 finalists, and two All-Americans in 2023-24. The NCDC/USPHL All-Star Event is a jumping off point for highly-accomplished college hockey careers.”
2024-25 All-Stars Format
- This year’s NCDC All-Stars format will see individual Division teams, with the New England, Atlantic, and Mountain Divisions fielding one team apiece. There will also be a Prospects team for the league’s top young players, many of whom may be among those selected in the NHL Entry Draft in 2025 or beyond. Each team will play two games over the two days. There were more than 200 NCDC players committing to NCAA schools from the 2023-24 season as well as alumni, including 72 who moved on to the Division I ranks either in 2024-25 or a future season.
- The USPHL Premier Conference will field four All-Star teams at the event. The Northwest, Pacific, and Canada Division All-Stars will form one team; another team will represent the New England and Atlantic Divisions; the Southeast and Florida Division All-Stars will be represented by a team; and the North, Midwest, and Great Lakes Division All-Stars will field a team. Each of these teams will play two games at the event. More than 300 USPHL Premier players committed to college hockey during the 2023-24 season, while 248 Premier players from the 2023-24 season and prior years saw time with NCDC teams this past season.
- Players will be nominated and teams selected during the month of December, with all rosters to be revealed in early January 2025.
