How would you compare/contrast and ?
With the ECHL sitting two levels above the FPHL, it's a much stronger league overall. The overall caliber of teams, skill level, and speed of the game is a bit higher in the ECHL than the Fed. You'll find a few good players on every FPHL roster, but you'll find many more in the coast broadly speaking.
We have both scouted and attended games in each of these levels. Our insights stem from this alongside many conversations we've had with players/staff who've spent time in each of these two levels.
