American Professional Hockey League

The American Professional Hockey League (or the APHL) is a fictional professional ice hockey league in the Our Lives universe which is a mixture of the (NHL) [although the NHL is referred to numerous times in the series] and  (AHL).

Connor Watkins, Owen Travis, Luke Kendrick, Tanner Grant and Kendall Anthony play in the league for the Mount Larkin Eagles.

The APHL salary cap and contracts are operated in the same way that the NHL does it. All APHL games air on television, radio and can be streamed on the Internet.

Like the NHL and the AHL, the age limit to compete in the APHL is 18 years old or older. Any player who is at least 26 years old by September 15th is not considered to be a rookie in the league. They also travel to their away games by airplane or bus.

Although the APHL holds a draft in June just like the NHL does, the majority of players in the league consist of those who played minor league hockey, college hockey (club or NCAA), junior hockey, hockey overseas and those who were undrafted (whether in the NHL or the APHL).

For undrafted and college players in the APHL, scouts and general managers from the APHL will choose up to 1-3 players as possible recruits for their team from colleges and universities (such as Mount Larkin University) in February. The signings are left up to the discretion of the individual teams.

It is not uncommon for college players to either leave halfway through their college season or after completing their college education to sign with the team full-time.
