It provides the standards, education and resources that help make youth hockey safe, fun and rewarding for your child. A SAFE PLACE TO PLAY Safety is a top priority. USA Hockey provides programs focused on both on-ice and off-ice safety, including SafeSport education and background screening requirements for adults with access to youth players. TRAINED COACHES AND OFFICIALS USA Hockey coaches are certified and complete education specific to the age of the players they coach. Officials are also certified, helping provide a consistent understanding of the rules and standards of play. DEVELOPMENT BUILT FOR KIDS USA Hockey's American Development Model provides age- appropriate training designed to help young players learn, build skills and enjoy the game in a fun environment. SUPPORT FOR YOUR FAMILY Parents have access to educational resources covering topics such as equipment, rules, safety and their role in helping create a positive hockey experience. PROTECTION WHEN YOU NEED IT USA Hockey membership includes insurance coverage designed to provide assistance and added peace of mind when the unexpected happens. MORE FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP Your USA Hockey membership also includes a subscription to USA Hockey Magazine, exclusive age- appropriate educational newsletters throughout the season and access to exclusive offers from USA Hockey partners, local professional hockey teams and equipment manufacturers. ROOM TO GROW Every player's hockey experience is different. As kids grow in the game, USA Hockey helps connect them with opportunities to take the next step, from district and national tournaments to player development camps and select programs. For some, that path can continue all the way to USA Hockey's National Team Development Program and Team USA. HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER: TO JOIN TODAY, PLEASE VISIT: membership.usahockey.com
