Tier 1 Elite Hockey League is the Nation’s premier amateur hockey league featuring 23 organizations stretching from coast to coast.  With significant visibility, top-level talent, and elite coaching often coming from the upper levels of professional hockey, the Tier 1 Elite League boasts the ability to move young, talented players to organizations such as Major Junior, Tier I Jr Hockey, NCAA Hockey, NHL, and other professional leagues.

The T1EHL showcase tournaments and games are heavily attended by scouts from the USHL, NCAA schools, and the OHL due to the convenience of seeing many top players in one game or weekend. This has led to a significant percentage of Tier 1 players moving on, making the league one of the most respected in the United States for amateur hockey.
