Pre-Season Action

Happy Tuesday Steel Fans!! We hope that you had a great weekend! 

Since it is a nice day outside, we figured we would start out by sharing a fun USHL fact with you. This year the USHL recorded a record high of 32 players, from the 2012-2013 season, drafted by NHL teams. This is the highest number since the league initially started.

Now let's look forward to this season. Every year, prior to the start of the season, the USHL sets up a Fall Classic for all 16 teams in the league to participate in. This is a time where players and coaches can get an idea of what the season might hold for them, as well as, identify things their team might have to work on before opening night. 

Last week the USHL came out with the official Fall Classic schedule for the East and West. The Indiana Ice will be hosting the classic, for the Eastern Division, with all games being played in Indianapolis, IN. Below is the official schedule:
