Bringing Miracles to Life for the Next Generation

The USA men's ice hockey victory over the heavily-favored Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympic Winter Games will forever be known as the "Miracle on Ice."  While that victory is certainly the most famous moment in American hockey, it is far from the only miracle to take place on the ice.

Remember the first time you played hockey?  Or the feeling you get every time you put on your skates?  How about the look on the face of a youngster who has fallen in love with the sport?  The USA Hockey Foundation wants more people to experience these joys by expanding opportunities to participate in our great game.

Miracles Happen in Hockey Every Day

A Miracle occurs...

• Each time a child is introduced to the game and experiences its thrills.
• When a disabled athlete has the opportunity to play a sport they never thought possible.
• When a young girl scores her first goal.
• When a disadvantaged youth is given a stick and skates for the first time.
• When a father passes his love of the game to his son or daughter.
• When kids come together to play on a local pond.
• When an elite athlete has the honor to wear the USA sweater and take on the world's best in international competition.

We all love the game of hockey for its intensity, competition and excitement.  We also love the feelings of belonging, pride and sense of community that it provides.  You can share this passion by providing new opportunities that will inspire the next generation of players to develop their skills, work together and live their dreams.
