Overview:

US’ governing body for hockey, USA Hockey Inc., was established to “promote the growth of hockey in America and provide the best possible experience for all participants by encouraging, developing, advancing, and administering the sport.” It is full member of both the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). Aside from organizing men’s and women’s teams for international tournaments that include the IIHF World Championships and the Olympic Winter Games, USA hockey also coordinates activities with other national hockey federations around the world and, closer to home, works with the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) on matters of mutual interest. Currently, USA Hockey has over 585,000 registered ice and in-line hockey players, coaches, officials, and volunteers.
