The 2006–07 USHL

Anderson Cup. The 2006–07 season added the Ohio Junior Blue Jackets
as an expansion team.

The 2007

Clark Cup
playoffs featured all twelve teams playing in division-based seven-game series in the opening round, followed by a quarterfinal round-robin where the winners of the opening round play each other team once. The semifinal match-ups were made by pitting the top teams in the two round-robin series against the second-place team from the opposite division in a single-elimination game with the two victors meeting in a single-game championship match.
