COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Hockey announced today the programs invited to be a part of the USA Hockey Development League, which will begin play in 2027-28. 

"The DL is the next evolution of player development in the United States, and we are thrilled to provide another pathway for players to reach the USHL, NAHL, college hockey and the NHL," said Kris Knauss, vice president of USA Hockey and co-chair of the DL Joint Subcommittee. "We had more than 80 applicants from around the country and narrowing that group was a difficult process. We're grateful to every program that made an application, and we're excited to get started and build toward the inaugural season."
