The 2018 USHL Fall Classic gets underway today at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry Township, Pa.
All 17 USHL teams, including the U.S. NTDP, will be in attendance to play two regular season games over the next four days. In addition, the league is hosting 14U, 15U, 16U and 18U teams for a youth tournament at the UPMC Lemiuex Sports Complex, the RMU Island Sports Center and Baierl Ice Complex.
Two New England teams – Mid Fairfield Rangers and South Shore Kings – will participate in the USHL Fall Classic 14U Youth Tournament. Mid Fairfield defenseman and Boston College recruit Charlie Leddy (Fairfield, Conn.) is the top name, but several other players will be watched closely by college coaches and junior scouts.
