Very few players do before and after(hs season) in USHL. Unless the kid is a top first rd pick like Casey Mittelstadt[/size] the USHL team isn’t going to hold a roster spot open for the majority of the he season waiting for him to finish his high school season. I’ve only heard of top MN kids being afforded that opportunity. I’m curious as to when the last time a prep school kid did a before and after in the USHL? Very few MN kids skip jrs and go straight D1, even [/color][/size]Mittelstadt played in the USHL. Currently[/color][/size] in the USHL there are only 13 kids from CA playing. 4 from JD, 1 JK, 1 Grizzly, 1 CYA, 1 NJ Av, 1SSM, 1 CIH, and 3 that I don’t know. A few of those kids have only played a handful of games this year. With CA only sending about 10 kids a year to D1, have 13 currently playing in the USHL makes sense. Doesn’t seem to be working for all the kids being sent east to “prep†and all the pay to play jr leagues that target lower skilled kids. How many CA kids playing prep skip jrs and go directly D1?
