The Los Angeles Kings shocked the hockey world when they traded Jonathan Quick, their Stanley Cup goalie and one of the faces of the franchise for the last decade. The goaltending position has been a sore spot for a team on the rise and while Los Angeles has brought in a lot of young players in recent years, they had not yet adequately addressed their future in net.

A hockey player’s development is not usually linear. Ryan St. Louis is a prime example of that. The 19-year-old winger from Burlington, Vt., is hoping another pit stop in the USHL will help him take his game to the next level after playing last season at Northeastern University.

MONCTON, N.B. – As USHL teams got to enjoy a bit of an extended holiday break thanks to Christmas falling on what otherwise would have been a game weekend, 12 current USHLers didn’t get to rest up. Instead, they traveled to the 2023 World Junior Championship where they put on their nation’s colors to compete at one of the biggest hockey events on the calendar.

For the first time since 2018, the U.S. Junior Select Team finished the World Junior A Challenge on top as they defeated Canada East 5-2 to claim the tournament title. Team USA, which was comprised entirely of USHL players, finished the tournament with a 5-1 record, which includes wins over Sweden and Canada East in the playoff round to secure top honors. This is the ninth World Junior A Challenge title for the U.S. in the event's 15-year history.

With a busy Thanksgiving weekend in the rearview mirror, the calendar has flipped to December.

With Thanksgiving just days away, it’s shaping up to be a busy week ahead for millions around the country. The same could be said for those in the USHL.

Growing up in Mississauga, Ontario, Nick Moldenhauer was a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan, naturally. In July, Moldenhauer realized a dream that would make him the envy of the entire Greater Toronto Area when the Leafs selected him in the third round of the NHL Draft last July.

The last few years of NCAA men's hockey recruiting have seemingly been dominated by Michigan and Minnesota, but there could be a slight balance of power shift for the 2023-24 incoming class. For the first time in a while, Boston College looks to have the best incoming class on paper for next season based on the players that signed their national letters of intent earlier this week.

The World Junior A Challenge is a winter showcase event hosted by Hockey Canada, featuring two Canadian regional teams representing the East and West, a U.S. team and teams from Sweden and Latvia. The U.S. roster is often made up primarily of USHL players and this year will be no different.

It’s an action-packed weekend in the USHL as 16 games will be crammed into three days. Friday and Saturday’s slates both feature seven games, while a pair of games will close out the action on Sunday.

Week 3 in the USHL did not disappoint as conference leaders clashed and rivalries filled the schedule. All 16 teams hit the ice last weekend and although that number is down to 15 this time around, there are, once again, important early-season points on the line.

CRANBERRY TWP., Pa. – After a deluge of games on Days 1 and 2 of the DICK’S Sporting Goods USHL Fall Classic, Saturday saw just three contests. With Thursday and Friday’s teams heading home, six USHL clubs took center stage on the penultimate day of the league’s premier fall event.

The 2022-23 USHL season begins Thursday at the DICK’s Sporting Goods USHL Fall Classic near Pittsburgh, Pa. All 16 teams will play their first two regular-season games at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex as part of the league’s annual season-opening showcase.

September ushers in the beginning of fall, but more importantly, it brings in the beginning of hockey season. European pro leagues are already starting to get rolling and soon North America’s top junior leagues will be underway as well. Training camps are open and that means we’ve got preseason hockey on the way.

The USHL and FloHockey announced earlier this month a five-year media rights partnership, making FloHockey the new and exclusive home to the entire USHL season through the 2026-27 season. On top of all the great hockey you’ve been able to watch over the years, previously on FloSports subsidiary HockeyTV, FloHockey has big plans to help you follow the USHL like never before with dedicated weekly content, power rankings and a whole lot more.
