Hell, a few FPHL guys (goalies in particular) have gotten invites to AHL training camps, just haven’t made the cut.
It’s not like the Fed is void of talent, that’s for sure.

I don't think any FPHL players have ever sniffed an NFL roster though, right?

That would be one hell of a development to go from the Fed to the NFL.
To the best of my knowledge, we haven't had a player start in the Fed and wind up on a NHL roster. We have had some NHL guys come down to the Fed to finish off their careers. The Sharks HC was a former FHL player with Cape Cod.
I think the most recent top prospect to play at this level was Ben Johnson, who was suited up for the Zydeco for one game. That's a whole different story and rabbit hole that I'll avoid.

whoops, meant NHL. Thanks for the response. That makes sense

People can absolutely shite on the product off ice the Fed has put together. The Board of Governors took a pretty huge step forward to legitimize the league and create stability in the meetings a couple weeks ago.
There is talent on the ice. If you’re lucky enough to have USHL or NAHL juniors, or higher level minors, then I can see how you’d look down at the Fed.
The Fed has closed the gap over the years with the SP and next year the salary cap will be the same (with the Fed not really enforcing it whereas the SP does).
There is about to be a legitimate battle at A level hockey.

Man, it would be awesome to have the old IceGators/Kingfish/Brass/Seawolves back.

I feel like an SPHL and FPHL merger could make sense, but with both leagues expanding into so many more markets it seems very unlikely at this point
