Notes: Leagues had to have teams included (ranked) in all eligible levels during the 2005-06 season to make the rankings. Tier 2 birth year leagues are ranked separately because including minor birth years lowers a leagues overall score because minor birth year teams naturally rank lower than birth year major or mixed teams from comparable areas. Only the highest level divisions are included (LCAHL Ranked, NIHL Elite, CHC Division 1).
