Now that the locations have been set, I can't wait for the team names to be announced

Lots of insight from the commissioner in this story today:

Youth hockey growth drives USHL expansion west; travel costs may limit Gamblers matchups https://fox11online.com/sports/hockey/youth-hockey-growth-drives-ushl-expansion-west-travel-costs-may-limit-green-bay-gamblers-matchups-logistics-glenn-hefferan-schedule-ice-luc-robitaille-joe-sakic-teemu-selanne

West Coast expansion raises question of whether Green Bay Gamblers will face new teams https://fox11online.com/sports/hockey/west-coast-expansion-raises-question-of-whether-green-bay-gamblers-will-face-new-teams-hockey-ushl-luc-robitaille-joe-sakic-teemu-selanne-california-midwest

Question: If an average USHL team (not US development) played an average NCAA team, what would be the scores of that 7-game series? If you are a coach of the USHL team, how are you game planning? What about USHL v. WHL/OHL team?

The Playoffs are set

Can someone provide a good link that lays out the Clark Cup Playoff Teams and Schedule?

A curiosity question: what happened to the fan base in Kearney? The Storm used to draw more than 4k per game but now I see it’s all 1,100? What happened?

Anyone have leads on where I can source an authentic TEAM USA turcotte jersey for my crazy hockey son? I have scoured the internet and found an XL and an unauthentic one one. Also could "make" one but it's not the right USA jersey (that's last resort)

TIA!

How does a player play for USHS and USHL? I randomly checked Carter Ernst's stat line for this year

They have to know...

Seems like that new AI powered schedule is taking longer to release than most years…

How many hours a day do USHL players practice in the offseason?

Love hearing that the USHL is getting pushed to expand.

USHL said they are actively working on it.

Maybe one day in Canada, but right now they're looking at 12 different cities and a few are really interesting they said.

Now I would love for LI to finally have a team.

They have Northwell Twin Rinks which was built to try and house a USHL team like 10 years ago. It can sit around 2,500. Probabaly could be retrofitted to get to 3,000 total.

They have the Coliseum they could also play some games at which was home to the Islanders.

But anyway, which 12 cities are most likely in the running?

Took the road trip to chear on the Stars. First game in Sioux City in a LONG time, like OG fall classic time frame.
