COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Hockey today announced staffing changes, including Kevin Erlenbach being named assistant executive director of membership and Kevin Couture tabbed as director of marketing.

Erlenbach joined USA Hockey’s staff in 2006 as coordinator of adult hockey, before moving to the newly created membership development department in 2009. Since the fall of 2012 he has served as director of the department and in his new role he’ll oversee USA Hockey’s efforts in membership development and member services. He will begin his duties immediately.

Couture arrived at USA Hockey in 2004, serving as coordinator of growth and development for inline hockey, before moving to coordinator of adult hockey in 2007. After three years in that position, Couture was hired as USA Hockey’s first-ever manager of events in April 2010 and was elevated to his current position as director of events in December of 2014. He will assume his new role leading USA Hockey’s marketing efforts in January following the completion of the 2018 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship.
