The 'United States Hockey League' (abbreviated 'USHL') is the top junior ice hockey league in the United States. As of the 2006-2007 season, it has 12 teams, consisting of players who are 20 years of age and younger. The teams are located in Midwestern United States. The USHL is strictly amateur; players are not paid for playing. This allows former USHL players to compete in NCAA college hockey (which does not allow players who have been paid athletes before college).
The USHL was established in 1961. It was semi-professional for some time and became fully amateur in 1979.
Many USHL players have gone on to compete in professional and college hockey. In 2003-2004, the National Hockey League had 38 players with USHL experience.
The Sioux Falls Stampede won the 2006-07 USHL championship in an expanded, 12-team playoff format. The league has recently announced that it will revert to an 8-team divisional playoff format for the 2007-08 season.
