I am very familiar with the NHL and AHL, I know a little about the ECHL and QMJL, and I've seen games in Las Vegas and Tulsa. Could some knowledgeable person educate me as to the pecking (skill level) order of the minor and junior leagues. An inclusion of the KHL and the European leagues would also be appreciated. As I know it now, it would look something like this:

NHL
KHL
AHL
Swedish Elite League
ECHL
QMJL

Any additions or corrections would be greatly appreciated.

the IHL is considered AA hockey, same talent level as the ECHL, but the league is not as prestigous. it used to be the UHL. theres also a new single A hockey league in its second year kickin around the great lakes.

Weren't Tulsa and Vegas in the IHL? Can't remember for sure and haven't looked at a newspaper since Al Gore invented the internet.

That list is what I was hoping for, thank you. Some minor jostling depending on opinions, but that seems to sum up what I was after pretty well.

You are techinally right but the Junior A that the CHL is a higher class, the lower class is still junior A but it is usually called "Tier 2 Hockey".
