USHL Commissioner Bob Fallen, Windsor Spitfires & Ford Ice Center

Thanks to more winter weather, Justin was solo in studio we kicked it off with Danny Butler of Ford Ice Center to address local hockey needs with A-Game Sportsplex shutting down. He also discussed the new 3-year agreement with the South Eastern Collegiate Hockey Conference in hosting their annual tournament.

Dave Ducharme, Coordinator of Media & Public Relations for the Windsor Spitfires, provided us audio from the Ryan Ellis jersey retirement and then gave us scouting reports on the three top NHL prospects currently with the Spitfires. (12:30)

Bob Fallen, Commissioner of the United States Hockey League (USHL) gave us a full rundown of the league and how it has continued to grow and supply multiple NHLers and players in the NHL Draft. The USHL is the only Tier 1 junior hockey league in the United States. (25:15)
