My son has offers from teams in both leagues. He is a first year U16. I originally thought USPHL all the way, but the more research I do, I'm impressed with the T1 League. Any feedback appreciated.
USPHL so you can pay for Tier 3 Juniors bus rides.
Let's do it this way - Do you ever foresee your kid being big enough or strong enough to play D-1 hockey? T-1 if it's realistic he will play D-1; USPHL if he has D-3 more in the cards for him. And if mom is 5'2" and dad is 5'6" I'd say keep the kid local because T-1 will be the end of the road for him

Truest statement on here in a long time. Genetics takes over at some point. You can't buy size. Bad move marrying the hot little spinner that was a cheerleader in college.

NCDC Sux guy is he the same guy who's son scored .14 PPG in the Canadian tier 3 league? Is the player tall?

Is this even English? Who's= Who is. Whose= Shows possession. Not only are you short but dumb as well. Probably with a chubby wife. My son is a big defenseman just so you know and moved from CCHL which is Tier 2 to NAHL which is also Tier 2. Now go get your shine box.

Except, it's not that simple. There are a lot of factors that go into the process, particularly when the kid in question is 15, as the OP's kid is. Where is he going to school? Is that a consideration? How difficult is it to get to the locations of the two Tier 1 teams in the area? What times do they practice? What is the traffic like at different times of day? What time does he finish classes? Does he have other responsibilities after school? Is there even a parent that can consistently drive him?
I know these things factor in more heavily than where he may eventually play because we have been faced with this decision. I don't know whether my kid is D1 or D3 material yet, or either, but I do know that the Tier 1 league was an excellent experience for him. We won't continue, because of some of those other factors. I'll miss the league. It was fun.
