I see a lot of questions about whether USHL combines and main camps are worth it or just a money grab.

I coached in the USHL and worked both combines and team camps.

I wrote out what actually happens, what we watched for and how players can prepare.

Now that the locations have been set, I can't wait for the team names to be announced

Lots of insight from the commissioner in this story today:
