This isn’t just junior hockey — this is elite-level competition featuring players bound for NCAA programs:
45 NCAA Division I commitments
113 NCAA Division II & III commitments
A league known for developing top-tier talent — and giving younger players a real shot to shine. Limited 20-year-old roster spots = more opportunity for younger players to shine.
Now adding 3 elite NCAA D3-feeder teams from the EHL, further boosting commitment potential

When you come to a River Hawks game, you’re not just enjoying a night out —
You’re watching future college hockey stars take the ice.
