To add to the NAHL-USHL discussion, the NAHL has a tendency to lean older, especially 20 year olds with USHL experience that were not valuable enough to count to the 4 man age out cap in the USHL. However, many USHL players begin their college careers earlier than 20, whereas NAHL players typically age out before college. That extra year of development and strength training, yet those NAHL grads still have careers that typically do not compare to that of their younger USHL peers.
Now as for the USHL players going D3 or even ACHA instead of D1 or straight pro, well that is most commonly from (1) losing their passion for the game and dedication it takes or (2) poor grades and test scores.
For the most telling eye test, just click through some USHL rosters and see where most players come from. Sure a few work their way up from the NAHL but not many.
