It is always exciting covering prospects from the USHL. Draft evaluations begin to take over this time of year. However, there is always time for the latest from the league. Overall, it was a month of great plays, saves, and more. Two things stood out in the last month. One is that we [...]
Welcome to the March edition of the Liiga report, where I will be going over players from Liiga/Mestis/Jr. A SM-liiga who have caught my attention lately.
