The 2010 USCL Schedule has been released

   Not only has the Schedule been released, but the entire website has been updated for the 2010 season.

   New York and Boston continue their never ending rivalry to begin the season, while two expansion teams butt heads on opening day, as the St. Louis Arch Bishops take on the Los Angeles Vibe.

   Also note a major rules change for 2010 - there will be no more alternates. The two alternate spots will be replaced by one permanent roster spot. Each team will have nine regular roster spots now, and one bonus spot that they can use for a female player, for a total of ten.

 
 
The New England Nor'easters have released their logo

  The New England Nor'easters, neighbors of the Boston Blitz, have joined the USCL and are ready to give many new players from the New England area a chance to experience USCL play. Now that all of the logos have been released, stay tuned later today for a major overhaul of the USCL website, and the 2010 Schedule.
