How good is the ushl?

[Whalers Fan]

I can get to one junior hockey game this weekend. One is OHL (Erie), the other is USHL (Youngstown) but the latter is an opportunity to see the NTDP that I may not get if I go to a later USHL game (the NTDP comes back in one more time, but I won't know if I can make that game until the last second due to the Stanley Cup Playoffs).

Which game should I go to?

Keep in mind it’s the U17 team visiting Youngstown this weekend, not the U18 team. So, you will not be seeing all the top NTDP prospects, such as Jack Hughes, Turcotte, etc.

Opted for Erie. Glad I did after reading Whalers Fan's post.

It's a lot worse than it was 15 years ago but that's because there were only 12 teams and everyone playing in the league was a great player. It's become watered down no question.
