As a former writer for USCHM, I'll add the following: (1) Yes, it's a nice *idea*. (2) Yes, it has pretty pictures. (3) I've never found it to be worth the cost. (4) After having dealt with the USCHM "brass", I can't justify recommending the publication to anyone...even with Dave and Paula (and other Hockey-L/USCHO-ers) on board as beat writers. BOTTOM LINE: Readers...stay away from it. Writers... stay VERY FAR away from it.
