I live in Idaho Falls and have watched every game of the Idaho Falls Spud Kings and seen all the NCDC teams play this year and I can tell you this division is legit. The hockey has been very good and the teams are very balanced talent wise making for fun and exciting games to watch. For just about half the season any team could be #1 or drop to #5. As of right now 4 of the top 10 NCDC teams overall are Mountain Division teams. Now how will they stand up when they play the eastern teams, that is soon to be seen but for a brand new division, it has been impressive.
Just a little update, the Northern Colorado Eagles will not be part of the league. The new NAHL expansion team (Colorado Grit) will be located in Greeley, CO - instead the NCDC West expansion is coming from one of the other teams that was in the USPHL Premier last year.
My son made the jump from the cchl this year to ncdc west. Was a great move for him, very well run programs and lots of development.
He plays for Utah Outliers right? We (Spud Kings) played them tonight and I think Joss had a couple assists. They have a strong team and program.

Parity is always best for leagues and fans!

Thanks for the update!
What do feel about the JPHL?
needs a lot of work.
You should make a vid on ncdc if it’s worth it in general
Great idea! Will make one in the next month or so
Wait a minute, has NCDC actually been granted Tier 2 status by USA Hockey? When?
NCDC is not USA hockey sanctioned but the league is tier 2.
To be honest I think the ncdc is half tier 2 and half tier 3
This is pretty accurate. It’s lower end tier 2 overall
