USA Hockey and Total Hockey are looking for new ways to grow the game! Tell us what your program is doing this season to increase the number of 8-and-under players and you'll get a shot at winning 30 starter sets of equipment from Total Hockey.

Participation in youth hockey around the country has increased in each of the past three seasons thanks to our great volunteers and the programs they are implementing. The membership development department at USA Hockey is committed to collecting and sharing these ideas around the country. The winning idea will receive 30 sets of beginner equipment from Total Hockey, while 2nd and 3rd place will earn 20 and 10 sets respectively.

If you have an original idea that has helped grow your membership, please submit all entries for this award to GrowTheGame@usahockey.org. The deadline for entries is May 1, 2012 and the award will be presented in June at USA Hockey’s Annual Congress.
