I might switch soccer and hockey. Unless this is national leagues only. But I figure there's a lot of amateur clubs for soccer. |
|

NHL does have minor leagues. |

5. MLS - 16 Teams + no development or minor league teams
16 Teams + no development or minor league teams

"5. MLS - 16 Teams + no development or minor league teams
16 Teams + no development or minor league teams
16 Teams
+ no development or minor league teams"
multiple things wrong with this
1. MLS has 20 teams
2. There are four minor leagues, the 11 league NASL, the 24 league USL, the 63 team USL PDL, and the 78 club NPSL.
3. It's a known fact that soccer is the 3rd most played sport in the United States, behind basketball and baseball, and the fact that you had hockey, one of the least accessible sports ahead of it is laughable.
Poorly researched thread that could have been informative otherwise |

The NHL has the AHL (30 teams), ECHL (28 teams), OHL (20 teams), QMJHL (18 teams), and WHL (22 teams).
That's 118 teams sir. |

Are those minor league affliates though? |

At least AHL and ECHL are.
I believe all 3 of the CHL leagues are at least somewhat affiliated with the NHL |

Also the CHL leagues aren't minor leagues. Their developmental leagues. |
