Dean Blais may become new coach in Fargo. What does this have to do with the USHL you may ask? Well, Gino Gasparini is supposed to be at the press conference along with Blais.
Plans are under way in Fargo to build a $30 million, 5,000-seat arena a mile southwest of the city that would be used by the new USHL team, as well as by Fargo high school teams.
I think it would be great to get Fargo back into the USHL. They will be upgrading their building and it should fit in perfectly with USHL standards.

Isn't Fargo a little far for everyone but Sioux Falls. Imagine the bus trip from Columbus to Fargo, 16 hours. How would this work division wise. Obviously they wouldnt be in the East, but still a long drive for most of the West too.
Fargo was in the league previously. Their last yr was 99-00. So it's not like the teams in the West haven't made the trip up before
Why doesn't the league try expanding east?
most of the proposed teams for the future are in the east.
It would put DM back in the east where they belong...hahaha
Fargo has been in the league on two different occasions, maybe three times will be the charm. At least they're planning to get out of that dump called the Coliseum. That building should be leveled as a public service to the community.
Does anyone know which cities are being considered for eastern expansion?
Champaign/Urbana Illinois has been mentioned the last few years for expansion
