The Midwest Prep Hockey League (abbreviated MPHL) is a highly elite prep school ice hockey league in North America. The Midwest Prep League was founded in 2000; the original six league members were Culver Academies (IN), Gilmour Academy (OH), Lake Forest Academy (IL), Park Tudor School (IN), Shady Side Academy (PA), and St. Francis High School (NY). Since its inception the league has grown to ten Division 1 level prep school teams across the United States and Canada. The MPHL aids in preparing student athletes for college ice hockey and other higher levels of hockey. The league has maintained a competitive level of play throughout the USA and Canada, and has scheduled "Showcase" Weekends for scouts to see all the teams & players at one site . Many former MPHL players have gone on to play in NCAA college hockey at a variety of levels. The founders of the league were John Malloy (Gilmour Academy), Dave Erickson (Lake Forest Academy), Len Semplice (Shady Side Academy), and John Bowers (St. Francis HS).

Many MPHL players have gone on to compete in professional and college hockey.
