The growth of hockey in the United States can be charted in a small way by the number of youth national champions hailing from new states as the years progress.
Between 1949 and 1972, all of the national champions hailed from either Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan or Minnesota. The 1970s saw Illinois, New York and Washington join the list and then New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island and Wisconsin won their first titles in the 1980s.
From 1990 to 2008, ten new states joined the champions list. Alaska, California, New Hampshire and North Dakota had teams win titles in the '90s and then Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Texas and Vermont won championships since 2000.
While the hockey strong communities continue to have strong showings on the national stage, the surge of hockey from non-traditional markets is starting to produce new champions.
