HOCKEY'S WEEKEND TO SHINE IN AMERICA
Hockey Weekend Across America celebrated another year of hockey in February. USA Hockey is already looking forward to next year and has selected Jan. 29-31, 2010 as the weekend America will celebrate the sport.
USA Hockey today announced the winners of the 2009 Hockey Weekend Across America Best Programming Contest. Hyland Hills Hockey Association (Westminster, Colo.) won the Grand Prize, which includes 25 sets of OneGoal starter hockey equipment and $2,000.  |
Hockey Weekend Across America has been a big success as a national platform to celebrate the game and in 2010, the event will have a stronger focus on growing the game. USA Hockey is seeking at least 200 rinks offering a free trial of hockey on Saturday, Jan. 30. All hosting rinks are required to hold the free trial at a consistent time of 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. local time. The final goal is to get as many first-time players on the ice and later transition them to each host site's full-time programs.
