Hockey Weekend Across America is on Saturday, February 19th, 2011in Vermont .  USA Hockey still has 29 more slots until they hit their goal of 200 host locations.  We have two associations signed up already for the event.  I would like to see more associations jump on board with this promotion.
 
Those first 200 sites will receive 40 jerseys and goodie bags, a $50 credit to do a Valentine's Day card print with Digital Ink and be entered into an incentive program that rewards the top five programs with Bauer equipment (www.usahockey.com/programservices).
 
I know this is a busy time with state tournaments and other end of the year duties, but it is important to continue to promote hockey and our associations.  Please consider carving out a piece of ice for this event.  It could be a stand alone ice slot or with your learn to skate program or the mites.  Please contact John Cioffi ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

How does your Association promote youth hockey?

All Vermont hockey Associations are encouraged to share their promotional ideas.  We have a lot of creative ideas going on throughout the State for getting kids to play hockey.  Lets share these ideas so we can help grow the game.  Any and all ideas are welcome.  Please send them to John at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Here are a few that have come in so far...
