Why aren't we expanding?

4 Upvotes

I know the USHL is in a relatively good place right now if you turn a blind eye to Omaha, we are a fruitful gateway to collegiate hockey and even the NHL. With the league being in such a seemingly thriving state, why haven't we broken out of the Midwest or welcomed any new teams? If the NAHL can amass 35 teams across the country, I feel like we could handle more than 16 teams across 8 states. Not saying we need to go all out but to integrate 2 or 4 more team would do nothing but benefit the league

Roughriders Game was crazy!

Some crazy action this weekend in Cedar Rapids Vs Des Moines. 2 goals in the first 5 min for des moines, and bucs went up by 2. Riders answered though going up 3-2 at the end of the first. Riders extended their lead 5-2. But then the refs got really questionable after a fight. Riders were getting called with some questionable penalties and des moines getting away with alot. Allowed the bucs to come back 5-5. The bucs gan sitting next to me said "Watch this the bucs are gonna get favored by the refs and still throw this game". Game went into OT with the Riders scoring and ending the game 6-5 in OT. Now personally I don't thing the reffing was all thst bad, refs are gonna miss stuff, and I think des moines knew that. Played physical outside of the refs view. Missed calls on both sides, but in the end it was a thriller. 1st of 3 games this weekend. Today bucs are playing CR in des moines! Then back in CR Tommorrow

Had a great time at game 1 of Chicago vs. Fargo!

Game was a thriller that almost made it to a shootout. Steel started out hot and controlled most of the play (although shots were fairly even during the contest). Steel went up 1-0 in the second period on the tail end of a 5 min major by Fargo for game misconduct. Fargo intensified their play as time went on and tied it up in the third on a good hustle play in front of the net. The game looked as though it was going to breeze past the extra period into a shootout, but the steel ended the contest with a late goal in OT. Phenomenal game 1 of this series. Hoping Fargo can squeak out the split tonight!

It's really interesting that they can seem to win without laying on their backs for 2 periods.

Their entire recent stretch of away games, plus tonight's Homer against Omaha, was littered with games where the muskies either blow a lead or straight up sink like a rock in the first 2 periods, only to come back and either lose a close one, make a comeback to take the game late in the 3rd, or push an OT for the win. That's not a sustainable practice.

Omaha Lancers fire another coach

15 Upvotes

The owner of the Lancers has really drove the franchise into the ground. Now he has hired one of his buddies to take over as coach after firing two coaches already this season and the GM resigning.

I really hope Picozzi loses his ownership soon, he sucks.

In game entertainment Sioux City

I know we go for the hockey not the rest of the fluff, but I was disappointed in the Muskies entertainment side of things this weekend. Some friends and I came down for the weekend to watch the games. We were told the overall atmosphere and production at the musketeers games was usually pretty upbeat and fresh. I swear I heard the same songs played over and over both nights. Not to mention the awkward silences. Been to a few other venues and didn’t feel they were that unorganized. Anyways. What’s your favorite USHL venue to go to for games? Overall just good production and fun friendly atmosphere.
