NGB News USA Hockey & U.S. Figure Skating , The USA Hockey adult program introduces the Adult League Director Alliance (ALDA) for the 2021-22 season. There was a need to create a community within our adult hockey league directors around the country as we all had challenges to overcome during the COVID-19 pandemic. This community came together virtually with shared interests, goals and solutions. The purpose of this alliance moving forward is to connect all adult hockey leagues across the country through networking, encouraging and enhancing communication, sharing resources and best practices and providing support for directors. Annual membership is from September 1 to August 31 of each hockey season and to qualify for membership you must be the league director and the adult league must be currently registered with a valid association code.
