After winning the Clark Cup, the Indiana Ice has been forced to disband.
The USHL championship team will go dormant for the 2014-15 season as they look for a new facility to play out of for future USHL seasons.
The USHL member clubs conducted a dispersal draft for the current players on the Ice protected roster, which features eight Michigan natives. Here’s a look at the USHL clubs they now belong to; it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will report, because some are moving on to the NCAA level for the start of next season.
Round 1
Des Moines Buccaneers – Jacob Pritchard (Macomb)
Chicago Steel – Zach Osburn (Plymouth)
Muskegon Lumberjacks – Ryan Mantha (Clarkston)
