Expansion?

USHL makes their pitch to Battle Creek, Michigan. People in attendance include Josh Mervis (previous Danville owner), Jim Kronschnabel (Sioux City owner), and former Cedar Rapids RoughRider Justin Abdelkader.

There is also another article that discusses it a bit more. An interesting piece I saw in that article was this:

Mervis, who also owns a franchise soon to begin play in Louisville, Ky., said it doesn't matter to him where a team would play in Battle Creek.
Sounds like Louisville will join the league before long.

Jay Lyngaas from the LaCrosse tribune has a few comments about things he's read, and one of them stuck out to me.

Instead of trying another “professional” basketball team in La Crosse again, why not give a minor league USHL hockey team a chance? It probably doesn’t matter either way since nobody (except the extremely rich — and that doesn’t include me) will be able to afford the gas it will take to drive to the games anyway.
