Good option for those that want to play NCAA hockey since playing in the CHL makes you ineligible for the NCAA.

Almost every NCAA D1 team has at least 1 player who has SOME USHL experience. It's a great intermediate step from HS hockey to NCAA hockey

Maybe some of the eastern talent has drifted west now that the eastern junior leagues are a clusterfuck, but from my observation dating to around 2015 the USHL is an overrated league. Definitely not on the level of major junior as some would say. Can't deny that it does have NHL talent coming out of the league but as a whole it's almost glorified midget AAA. I was literally trying and expecting to see talent noticebly better than the Jr. Bruins, Hitmen, and the Monarchs of the former EJ and to my surprise the talent level was far closer than I expected. Probably because the top USHL guys leave at 18 and the NAHL and the former EJHL have more players aging out of juniors. The NAHL is far worse now than it was before 2010 when a shitload of teams were added. The Topeka and a few other NA teams were on par with USHL teams around then and prior. There's absolutely no way the NTDP would have been in the NA if it was only as talented as it is now.
