USHL completes dispersal draft for Indiana Ice players
After winning the Clark Cup, the Indiana Ice has been forced to disband.
The USHL championship team will go dormant for the 2014-15 season as they look for a new facility to play out of for future USHL seasons.
The USHL member clubs conducted a dispersal draft for the current players on the Ice protected roster, which features eight Michigan natives. Here’s a look at the USHL clubs they now belong to; it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will report, because some are moving on to the NCAA level for the start of next season.
Round 1
Des Moines Buccaneers – Jacob Pritchard (Macomb)
Chicago Steel – Zach Osburn (Plymouth)
Muskegon Lumberjacks – Ryan Mantha (Clarkston)
Round 2
Muskegon Lumberjacks – Nick Azar (Grosse Pointe Park)
Green Bay Gamblers – Josh Jacobs (Shelby Township)
Dubuque Fighting Saints – Matt Roy (Canton)
Sioux Falls Stampede – Alex Talcott (Kentwood)
