The Waterloo Black Hawks won the regular season championship and the Clark Cup as postseason champions. Member changes The Grand Rapids Blades, and Traverse City Bays folded. In the wake of their departure, the USHL began looking for other teams to join the league. Around the same time, the Midwest Junior Hockey League had collapsed, leaving its surviving members with no home. The USHL decided to admit the Austin Mavericks, Bloomington Junior Stars and St. Paul Vulcans into the league. The three were the first junior teams to be a member of the USHL and put the league at a crossroads. Eventually, the USHL elected to continue officially as a semi-professional circuit with the intention of becoming a junior league in the near future.https://ushl.1rmg.com/ 2024-25 USHL Media Guide USHL June 18, 2025 As a result of that decision, the Milwaukee Admirals opted to withdraw from the league and join the International Hockey League.
