    For the second straight year, NBC Sports will explore hockey's influence and impact in America with its Hockey Day in America coverage throughout the afternoon on Sunday. Along with three regional NHL games at noon EST, and the national game of the week (Boston Bruins vs. Minnesota Wild), NBC Sports will highlight USA Hockey's National Team Development Program and the success it has experienced since its inception in 1996.

    The studio set for NBC's coverage will be located at the Wells Fargo WinterSkate outdoor rink in St. Paul, Minn. Young skaters from Minnesota will take to the rink throughout the day to showcase USA Hockey's American Development Model. In addition, a giant Team USA jersey, spanning 20 feet by 20 feet, will be on hand for fans to sign in support of the U.S. Women's National Team which will host the International Ice Hockey Federation Women's World Championship in Burlington, Vt., from April 7-14. Amanda Kessel, a member of the U.S. Women's National Team, will be on hand to sign autographs near the giant jersey.

    NHL Network U.S. will air special programming during Hockey Weekend Across America. A detailed NHL Network U.S. schedule can be found here.
