The USHL’s Clark Cup Playoffs begin this week with the first round that will feature eight of the 12 teams that made the postseason. Each of the top two teams in both conferences have earned a first-round bye and will await the winners of the first-round series.

The opening round begins Monday, April 24 and will conclude Wednesday upon the completion of each of the four best-of-three series. The winners of each first-round matchup will then travel to the higher-seeded teams’ home arenas for another best-of-three matchup. The winners of those series will then advance to the conference finals, where each series will be played in a best-of-five format with the higher-seeded team hosting Games 1, 2 and 5 and the lower-seeded teams hosting Games 3 and 4.

The Clark Cup Final will also be played in the same best-of-five format featuring the Eastern Conference and Western Conference champions. 

All games of the 2023 Clark Cup Playoffs, except for those contested at USA Hockey Arena, will be streamed globally on FloHockey.
