USHL Schedule Released

Last week the USHL Schedule was released. You might ask yourself, so what? W/ 10 Badger recruits currently slated to spend next season in the USHL, its worth mentioning.

Below is the home schedule for the Green Bay Gamblers. I would think GB is the closest USHL town for most Badger fans, providing the best opportunity to see our future Badgers in action. The link at the beginning of the post includes the schedule of all 12 teams.

While Badger Hockey takes precedent, I've highlighted about a dozen games that I could make, see what happens. I'll provide some scouting reports as I go, hopefully a few of our readers can provide commentary as well.
