History

In October of 2016, the USPHL announced that they had applied to USA Hockey for approval to add a Tier II junior league beginning with the 2017–18 season.^[2] Two months later, the petition was denied.^[3] Instead of ending their plans, the USPHL withdrew from USA Hockey oversight and organized the National Collegiate Development Conference.^[4] The Islanders Hockey Club took advantage of the league by founding a new Tier II franchise and joining for the inaugural season.
