The United States Hockey League (USHL) is the premier junior league for developing the next stars of college hockey. That reputation provides increased levels of exposure for all the league’s players, playing a key role in helping them achieve their dreams of playing Division I hockey.
Over the course of three seasons in the USHL, the Flying Aces have aided 25 players in making their college commitments. At the end of the 2016-17 season, the Aces had 21 players on the final roster who had Division I commitments, with players committed to Denver, the 2017 NCAA champions; Michigan, Minnesota State Mankato, Notre Dame, and Wisconsin, among others.
Below is the entire list of current and former Aces players who either committed to play Division I college hockey while with the team or had a college commitment prior to playing in Central Illinois.
