  • The United States Hockey League (USHL) is the top junior ice hockey league in the United States. The USHL has 14 member teams located in the midwestern United States, consisting of players who are 20 years of age and younger. The USHL is strictly amateur, allowing former USHL players to compete in NCAA college hockey. The league is based out of Chicago, IL The Sioux Falls Stampede won the 2006-07 USHL championship in an expanded, 12-team playoff format. The league reverted to an 8-team divisional playoff format for the 2007-08 season. The Indiana Ice won the 2008-09 Clark Cup championship, defeating the Fargo Force 3 games to 1 in the finals. The Ice defeated the Anderson Cup champion Green Bay Gamblers in the semi-finals. The Green Bay Gamblers won the 2009-10 Clark Cup championship, defeating the Fargo Force 3 games to 2 in the finals. The Gamblers also won the Anderson Cup that season. The league announced the addition of an expansion team based in Bloomington, IL, to be called the Bloomigton Thunder for the league's 2014-15 season. This team will probably replace the city's Southern Professional Hockey League team which has had difficulties in its one season in the league. The league had previously awarded and expansion team to Madison,Wisconsin to be called the Madison Capitols. The President/Commissioner of the league, Bob Fallon stated in an interview with "The Pipeline Show" that the league was looking at the Indiana Ice returning for the 2016-17 season and the look was looking at the possibility of expanding by two teams for the 2017-18 season. He stated that the expansion would not be outside of the current footprint of the league. Putting an end to speculation that the league was looking to expand further east than Youngstown, Ohio. Specifically stating that Youngstown is the furthest eastern team within the league, and travel beyond that is not likely to happen. The league is reported to be interested in placing a team in a new facility that is scheduled to begin construction in Coralville, Iowa late in 2016. The facility, with a working name of Iowa Sports Arena Project is planned to be completed in mid-2019. The facility is planned to also be the home of the Iowa Hawkeyes men's ice hockey program which is believed to be elevating to varsity status upon completion of the arena. Another city on the league radar is Racine, Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association are working on trying to find a location for their minor league affiliate and a proposal for a 3,800 seat arena in Racine has been mentioned. The owner of the Minnesota Wild, Craig Leipold has stated he would help bring a USHL team to Racine if the facility is built. See also: List of USHL Seasons.
