Awesome news. USHL is a super underrated league. It's a step below Canadian Major juniors, but a ton of kids play there on their way to NCAA's and the NHL. Hanzal, Rusty Klesla, Max Pacioretty, Alex Goligoski, Paul Stastny and Brian Rafalski ... lots of kids end up there, including Phil Housley, Gary Suter and Gordie Howe hahaha. Mostly Midwestern / Great Plains cities that aren't really tourist hot spots, but if you find yourself up that way, there's some really high level hockey being played.
