Players who have finished high school will sometimes take classes at local colleges. Teams also provide tutors and special counseling sessions to fulfill specific needs of players. Virtually every USHL club has a team award for the player who provides the most community service every season. And for most teams, that's probably the hardest award decision. It's made difficult by the wide variety of interests players take in their communities.
Imagination is the key when it comes to the nature of community involvement.
Others get involved in grade schools in other ways - on the playground or giving speeches. The D.A.R.E. program has also been a beneficiary of USHL generosity in several cities. Charities also receive donations in several USHL cities. There are a number of different ways a team donates. For a donation to charity, you can be an honorary stick person for the Omaha Lancers.
