2018-19 USACHL season

This was the 2018-19 USA Central Hockey League season.  This is the league's first season.
The league was the Tier-I league for the Amateur Athletic Union's United Hockey Union.
The league was announced as planning on having six teams for the premiere season, but chose to go with four teams that were organized and ready to go for 2018-19 in stead of six teams with two of them possibly not being well enough organized to be competitive or possibly last the season.
On November 14th the league's (and in turn the teams') social media sites were deleted or went dark. Apparently by an employee of the league had done this in response to not being paid.https://www.lmtonline.com/sports/article/USACHL-CEO-Employee-likely-to-blame-for-social-13393868.php
Rumors of the league collapsing over the weekend of November 17-18, 2018 as a result of financial and personnel issues began to surface.https://www.juniorhockey.com/news/news_detail.php?news_id=93438
The league would continue to play the following weekend including a game played 3-on-3 when one of the teams only had five available players.https://www.juniorhockey.com/news/news_detail.php?news_id=93455
