The USHL put out an announcement today that league president Gino Gasparini will slowly yield power before retiring.
Gasparini's success in the USHL is undeniable. Both the size and the quality of the league have expanded during his tenure, which began in 1995. It is the premier supplier of talent to the NCAA, the only Tier I Junior A league in the United States, and some may argue, on par with the Canadian CHL leagues.
His presence will be missed in the USHL, but he has laid a very solid foundation for whoever takes his place, and his slow departure should make for an easy transition.

...on par with the Canadian CHL leagues....
Argue away
I heard the Gino is in fact being asked to resign after punching a fellow USHL colleague while they were shaking hands after a long, tense meeting.
On par with Canadian junior A....yeah possibly. Major junior??....not a chance.
I think you will see a bunch of changes within the USHL, alot of rumblings after the meetings.
Never will the Ushl be on par with CHL Major A.
How is it they can be on par with the CHL, after all Omaha only mopped the floor with a team from Rimouski. Of course, this was when the USHL team had no time to prepare and the Q teams had already been hard at it for a month using NHL draft picks and 20 year old goaltenders.
Actually, didnt the Plymouth Whalers get beat by a NAHL team from Pittsburgh a few years ago?
