USA Hockey Leaders:

As we together work our way through the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. Ice Rink Association, U.S. Figure Skating and USA Hockey have partnered together to develop the Returning To The Rinks guide. This document lays out some of the following concepts and ideas to consider as rinks and programs look to start opening:

• Preparing rinks to re-open
• Guidelines for returning to figure skating on-ice activities and Learn To Skate USA programs
• Considerations for holding hockey programming

While we understand that different regions of the country will experience different phases of re-opening, we hope that this document helps with developing your plan to getting back on the ice.

A pdf of the document is posted below. If you have questions or comments, please let us know at Program.Services@usahockey.org.

The NYAHA web site will be moving to a more mobile friendly platform in the next couple of days. With that move we are reorganizing the site to help make navigation easier. Please be patient with us as we make this transition. We are optimistic once completed our site will be better for everyone.

The 2020 Bob Allen Scholarship applications have been posted to the website. Please insure all you eligible participants receive them for the opportunity to receive a scholarship. The deadline is for entry is being extended due to school closures. New deadline will be announced once schools reopen.

USA Hockey has developed the American Development Model (ADM) with a simple goal: to give back to the kids. The program provides age-appropriate guidelines and curriculum to hockey associations across America to help more kids play.
