THE North American Hockey League
2012 - 2013 Prospects Hockey League (PHL)
The West Michigan Hounds play in the North American Prospects Hockey League. The North American Prospects Hockey League (PHL) is composed of Midget Major (18U) and Midget Minor (16U) teams from across North America that compete at the Tier I AAA level. Having just completed its third season of competition, the PHL continues to establish itself as the premiere training ground for development and exposure. Not only have players in the PHL received year-long recognition from the NHL Central Scouting Bureau, dozens have received scholarships to NCAA Division I schools and hundreds more have been drafted and tendered by North American Hockey League (NAHL) and United States Hockey League (USHL) teams. The PHL, which is sanctioned by USA Hockey, utilizes the USA Hockey Officiating Development Program and is designed to maximize the exposure of all the participants through the NAHL’s high-profile recruiting events which attract hundreds of college, junior and professional scouts. The PHL provides an organized and competitive experience with an unrivaled scouting presence guaranteed to benefit all of the participating student-athletes and programs.

With junior, college and professional scouting presence at its events, coupled with a first-class organizational staff, the PHL offers unparalleled exposure and opportunity for every participating program.
