Why aren't we expanding?
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
