The United States Hockey League (USHL) is the top junior ice hockey league sanctioned by USA Hockey. The league consists of 16 active teams located in the Midwestern United States and Great Plains, for players between the ages of 16 and 21. The USHL is strictly amateur, allowing former players to compete in NCAA college hockey. The league plans to expand into Canada’s Quebec/Ontario provinces in the near future, creating an entire new division.
The Youngstown Phantoms won the 2023 Clark Cup playoff championship, their first in franchise history. The Fargo Force won the Anderson Cup as the 2023–24 regular season champions, their second in franchise history.
