USHL Teams Release Initial Protected Lists

The 12 members of the United States Hockey League submitted their initial protected lists to the league office today, which is the list they will take with them heading into the USHL Entry Draft, which will take place on Wednesday, May 14.

Initial protected lists consist of any returning veteran players that a team wishes to protect for next season, as well as any players from their affiliate lists that they wish to add.  The numbers of players on each team's list will determine how many they will select in the entry draft.

Non-veteran players on the lists are noted with their previous team listed after their name.
