FARGO \u2014 The USHL is moving its 11th annual Fall Classic, scheduled for Sept. 16-20, to the new Chicago Blackhawks training facility on the Windy City’s west side.<\/p>\n
That means Fargo Force fans will have shorter travel to Chicago than its previous host in Cranberry Township, just outside Pittsburgh. The Fall Classic features the first two regular-season games for each of the 16 USHL teams.<\/p>\n
The Blackhawks Ice Center in Chicago is a four-sheet facility that serves as the training home of the NHL’s Blackhawks. The Chicago Steel of the USHL will play at USG Arena.<\/p>\n
“We are extremely excited to host our marquee, season-opening event in the new home of the Chicago Steel and the Chicago Blackhawks training facility,” said Glenn Hefferan, USHL president and commissioner, in a statement. “The Steel, Chicago Blackhawks, Blackhawks Ice Center, and the Amateur Hockey Association of Illinois (AHAI) will provide our players with great exposure for NCAA and NHL scouts in a major hockey hub, and shine a spotlight on players across top youth programs in North America.”<\/p>\n
\n Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FARGO \u2014 The USHL is moving its 11th annual Fall Classic, scheduled for Sept. 16-20, to the new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":457163,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5115],"tags":[521,37,96,5263,14114,44828,5,4,12466],"class_list":{"0":"post-457162","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-blackhawks","8":"tag-blackhawks","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-chicago-blackhawks","11":"tag-chicagoblackhawks","12":"tag-fargo-force","13":"tag-fargo-force-score","14":"tag-hockey","15":"tag-nhl","16":"tag-ushl-hockey"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116065311382388687","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=457162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/457163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=457162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=457162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=457162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
