Top one is USHL, no doubt. But after that how it should be ranked?

NAHL
EHL
NCDC
?

Like JMC said, everyone will have an opinion. Several leagues split apart recently because of the differences of opinion. How are you trying to rank them? By general quality of play, by the number NCAA commits, what is the ranking criteria?

I like using the number of NCAA commits, with how many commits each league gets and to which schools.

USA Hockey has a ranking, but it is based off of how the club is run and not the quality of the league. USHL is "Tier 1" which is free-to-play including billeting. NAHL is "Tier 2" which is free-to-play but doesn't include billeting. The NA3HL and EHL are "Tier 3" which is pay-to-play. Everything else isn't in USA Hockey like the WSHL and USPHL-NCDC.
