USA Hockey's Welcome Back Week, presented by Winmark
September 7-13, 2025
It's time for USA Hockey's Welcome Back Week, presented by Winmark! Whether you’re taking your first strides or digging decades-old gear out of the rafters for another season of adult hockey, it’s an exciting time of year and an opportunity to write your hockey story on a fresh sheet of ice. For the coaches, it’s an opportunity to begin anew down the skill development path with an eager group of players.
Imagine where they’ll be in March, after you’ve helped unlock their potential. And for the parents and volunteers, it’s time for the hockey family reunion, when we’re all together again at the rink, helping make memories that will last a lifetime.
USA Hockey's Welcome Back Week, presented by Winmark, will feature unique programming, opportunities to interact on social media and will culminate in a national Try Hockey for Free Day on Saturday, September 13. For more information on Try Hockey For Free, click HERE.
Each Day of USA Hockey's Welcome Back Week, presented by Winmark, will have a theme associated with it! Look for ways to interact with each day by visiting USA Hockey's social media pages!
