The Mercer Chiefs are a Tier II junior ice hockey team playing in the United States Premier Hockey League's (USPHL) National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC) division. The Chiefs play their home games at Ice Land Skating Center in Hamilton, New Jersey.[1]
In 2022, the USPHL admitted the Mercer Chiefs as an expansion franchise for the top division of league play.[2] At the time, the Mercer Chiefs were an established youth hockey organization but had yet to field a full junior program (under-20) The Chiefs shifted their under-18 team from the Atlantic Youth Hockey League to the NCDC and established a second team to compete in the USPHL's division.
