Congrats to 3 former NAHL players leading the way in the USHL.....Connolly for Omha, Kretzer for Lincoln and Elliott for Des Moines!! And everyone says that league is no good?! Think again.....................

Sheesh... no one doubts that the NAHL has good players. GET OVER IT. The fact remains that, top to bottom, the USHL is better - and that's one of the reasons NAHL players move to USHL teams.

As for the rankings, I'm relieved to see the Gamblers weren't 13th behind Fargo.

finally something good comes out of the nahl...for the first time in how many years? these guys realized they couldn't get any better playing in a dumpy league like the nahl and decided they needed a real challenge.
