[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 transferred their under-18 outfit from the Atlantic Youth Hockey League to the NCDC and also founded a second team that would play in the USPHL's Premier division.
