message: I see the league is listed as founded in 1972-73. I find the same USHL on hockeydb.com listed as founded in 1961-62. Does anyone have contradictory information? Sqwerty 07:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Just thought I'd leave a heads-up that, with the Lancers officially in Omaha now (and not Council Bluffs) and the inclusion of the NTDP in Ann Arbor, the team location map needs an update.  I'm not good at these things, so I figured I'd leave a note for someone else. --Grayson37 (talk) 20:01, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Hadn't realized I didn't remove the 2008 and 2009 as well. Had meant to remove them all as duplication of content on List of USHL players drafted by NHL teams. -DJSasso (talk) 17:09, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: So discuss then. If you are going to revert just to revert me, then you are edit warring. Please give me a reason why we should leave this arbitrary 3 rounds of information for only 3 years on this page when its already better handled on another page. Content removal does not require discussion, I do hope you are aware of that. There is a big warning as you edit any page that you are not to submit your edit if you aren't willing to have it edited mercilessly (this includes deletion). -DJSasso (talk) 23:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I admit that I the best thing I can say about my knowledge about Junior Hockey is how much I don't know. That said saying it's the only tier 1 league is a much clearer and less promotional claim than to say it's the "top" league - which is unsupported by the existing citations I checked. I would suggest a more neutral word, or at least one more backed up by sourcing, can be found than to have the claim of being the top league in both the first sentence of the article and of the first section.

replies: text: It is how the tiers work, it similar to saying the Premier League is the top pro league in the UK (as in top of the pyramid, if not in other rankings). This explains pretty well, even though it is primary. Maybe highest level of sanctioned junior is more appropriate of a term. But I did add the sanctioned part in there because the Canadian Hockey League is kind of a junior (but not fully amateur either) and some might rate certain Hockey Canada leagues higher in certain years (such as the BCHL). Once such ref is this more independent one (note, it ranks all North American leagues, pro and junior) or these less independent ones  and . Yosemiter (talk) 01:21, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The only people that don't consider the CHL junior and amateur is the NCAA. All other organizations do. But that doesn't really matter here because the CHL falls under Hockey Canada not USA Hockey. -DJSasso (talk) 11:23, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I know, I just did not want to write an essay. It also used to say top junior league in the US, which was not precisely true (due to the presence of CHL teams in WA, OR, MI, and PA), so I added the USA Hockey statement for clarity. And I am not sure about how the CHL is viewed in Canada, but for the less in-the-know folks I have talked to in the Northwest US over several years, they thought the CHL was pro. So the NCAA does have some impact on how the everyman can view the leagues as pro. Yosemiter (talk) 12:34, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Basically Canada views the NCAA as ridiculous for considering the CHL as anything but amateur, but yeah they get $160 a month as a 16 year old up to I think its about $400 for a 20 year old last time I looked, but that is team and player dependent, some teams do much less, some players are at the high number and some at the lower number...but that is really meant to cover transportation and incidentals as opposed to being actual pay. It really comes down to the NCAA not wanting any of their athletes anywhere near money. Of course we also consider the NCAA to be for those who can't make it in the CHL. (obviously not totally the truth) -DJSasso (talk) 13:23, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
