February 25 | Welcome to Hockey Day

#WelcomeToHockey

Thousands of new children will fall in love with the sport of hockey after participating in Try Hockey For Free Day. So now what?

The entire hockey community can join us in this celebration, as we welcome all of the new hockey families with our favorite stories and advice. Do you remember the first time you tried to put on hockey gear correctly? Or maybe that first goal celebration with teammates hugging your child? No book can supplement the advice from current and former USA Hockey parents on how to get the most out of your child’s hockey experience.

USA Hockey will be celebrating with our favorite stories, and advice, from hockey parents, as well as sharing resources for new parents to better understand the sport and how to give their child an excellent youth sports experience.
