Annual Report Our Mission USA Hockey ANNUAL REPORT OUR MISSION USA Hockey provides THE FOUNDATION for the sport of ice hockey in America; helps young people BECOME LEADERS, even Olympic heroes; and CONNECTS THE GAME at every level while promoting a lifelong LOVE OF THE SPORT. Key Partners in Hockey A YEAR OF MUCH ACCOMPLISHMENT The Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games treat us to magical moments that inspire our nation and influence increased participation in our sport. And this year was no different in Sochi, Ron DeGregorio President Russia, for the 2014 Games. We won’t soon forget the grand celebration of our Paralympic Sled Hockey Team, shown nationwide on NBC, after a riveting 1-0 win over host Russia in the gold-medal game. Or the theatrics of T.J. Oshie scoring four times in a shootout, including the decisive goal in the eighth round, that led to a preliminary-round victory over Russia in one of the most anticipated men’s games in Olympic Dave Ogrean history. Executive Director And while we fell short of earning gold medals in men’s and women’s hockey, the performance of EXECUTIVE our teams will no doubt inspire more people of all ages to play our great game. COMMITTEE We’re well positioned to handle the influx of those new players thanks to the continued efforts 2013-14 across all areas of our organization. President 1 Safety is at the top of our priority list each and every day and we continued this year to devote Ron DeGregorio resources to research and education that affect both on- and off-ice safety. The American Development Model, our age-appropriate training program for youth hockey (and Treasurer Jim Smith beyond), finished its fourth full season and is having a positive impact on high-level development, retention, and of course, fun. Secretary Bill Hall We continue to provide the best coaching education program in youth sports and our materials are better than ever. And our officiating education program has taken a significant step forward in its Vice Presidents use of technology through Project Rodeo, which delivers resources in ways previously not available John Beadle to our officiating community. Dave Klasnick Peter Lindberg There’s so much to like about what’s happening in all areas of USA Hockey, including robust Gavin Regan programs in junior hockey and our ever-expanding disabled hockey program. And an adult hockey Larry Reid John Vanbiesbrouck program that has not only continued to grow in size for the last decade, but also stages some of our marquee events each year. Director Representatives We’re fortunate to have thousands of volunteers across the country in various capacities and it is Donna Kaufman T.C. Lewis those volunteers who are the unsung heroes of our organization. Mike Mulhall And finally, thanks to our growing list of partners whose support plays an important role in the Athlete Representatives overall success of USA Hockey. Shelley Looney We invite you to enjoy a look back at some of the terrific moments of the 2013-14 season in the Kevin Miller pages ahead. Jenny Potter PLAYERS A record number of children tried hockey for the first time in 2013-14. That’s a credit to the passionate efforts of volunteers nationwide, as well as to USA Hockey’s focus on safety, skill development and, of course, fun. In terms of safety, USA Hockey emphasizes both on-ice and off-ice protection through numerous initiatives, resources and enforcement. On the ice, USA Hockey’s vigilance is exemplified in part by the creation and enforcement of rules; research and guidance from some of the nation’s leading medical professionals; and progressive coaching in the areas of body contact and injury prevention. Off the ice, USA Hockey has long had systems in place to protect its participants from physical and sexual abuse and other types of misconduct. USA Hockey SafeSport, now in its third season, includes those long-standing policies, as well as additional enhancements like an electronic communication policy and streamlined abuse-reporting system. In terms of player development, USA Hockey’s American Development Model, based on long-term athlete development principles, continues to positively affect the landscape of youth hockey in America. “USA Hockey continues to do wonderful things in every aspect of the sport,” said Katey Stone, head coach of the 2014 U.S. Olympic 2 Women’s Ice Hockey Team. “And for kids, providing the best development programs and safest possible environment are at the forefront of every decision made.” With more than 100,000 kids eight years of age and younger playing hockey in America for the fourth straight year in 2013-14, the base of the game continues to strengthen. “We’ve made great strides in exposing new kids to our sport,” said Pat Kelleher, assistant executive director of development for USA Hockey. “Whether through events like the IIHF Girls Hockey Weekend or our Try Hockey for Free Days, or the countless other initiatives that make hockey an attractive option for kids and their families, we continually welcome new players to the game throughout every part of the country. It’s exciting to see the momentum grow. The future of our game is definitely bright.” Keeping children in the game is just as important, which is why USA Hockey’s youth programming emphasizes engagement. 476,634 351,890 “ Providing the best development programs 167,527 PARENTS & and safest possible environment are at the VOLUNTEERS 56,011 forefront of every decision made.” YOUTH PLAYERS 23,413 ADULT PLAYERS COACHES MEMBERSHIP usa hockey usa OFFICIALS American Development Model: Doing What’s Best for Kids USA Hockey’s American Development Model is a nationwide player-development initiative launched in 2009. It emphasizes age- appropriate, age-specific competition and training for children, with a heightened focus on skill development. The ADM was founded on consensus sport science and child development research, the premise of which calls for creating fun, active environments focused on skill development and engagement – environments in which every child can excel and reach their true potential. In short, it’s doing what’s best for kids, while also delivering an ideal hockey education. The positive effect on American hockey is already shining through from coast to coast. “ The ADM has made a huge impact on our youth athletes, “In a short period of time, the ADM has helped and by staying committed to the ADM, we’ll continue revolutionize youth hockey,” said Ron giving them the overall skill development they need.” DeGregorio, president of USA Hockey. “It’s exciting to see the positive results in our Phil Housley, Nashville Predators Assistant Coach player development. American hockey will only get better as these initial waves of players progress.” Since its launch, the ADM has received national and international acclaim, gaining support from the National Hockey League, the NCAA and hockey parents alike. Its success has also resonated with the United States Olympic Committee, which asked USA Hockey for permission to use the ADM name and logo to represent American athlete-development efforts across its entire sporting landscape, “to help Americans explore their full athletic potential and utilize sport as a path toward an active and healthy lifestyle.” 476,634 351,890 167,527 PARENTS & VOLUNTEERS 56,011 YOUTH PLAYERS 23,413 ADULT PLAYERS COACHES USA Hockey ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP usa hockey usa OFFICIALS REPORT 2013-2014 PLAYERS Junior Hockey USA Hockey’s junior program provides opportunities for players ages JUNIOR HOCKEY 16-to-20 to hone and enhance their skills and is an important part of the IN THE UNITED STATES organization’s overall efforts related to player development. 2013-14 To put things in perspective, in 2013-14 alone, junior leagues had a hand in Tier I helping 315 new players into NCAA Division I hockey and nearly 400 players United States Hockey League onto NCAA Division III rosters.

  • MEDIA CLIPS Columbus Blue Jackets at Boston Bruins January 2, 2020
    MEDIA CLIPS Columbus Blue Jackets at Boston Bruins January 2, 2020 Columbus Blue Jackets Columbus Blue Jackets’ troubles in overtime tied to penalties By Jacob Myers – The Columbus Dispatch – December 31, 2019 Back in October when the Blue Jackets lost two games in overtime on back-to-back nights, John Tortorella didn’t hesitate to mention the importance of those additional points at the end of seasons when playoff spots are hanging in the balance. More than two months later, the Jackets have posted a 1-4 record in games decided in overtime or a shootout in December, prior to Tuesday night’s game against the Florida Panthers, while sitting six points out of the final wild card spot. In each of those overtime or shootout losses, the Jackets either lost on the penalty kill or had to kill one off. Three-on-three overtime can be a crapshoot, with its fast-paced nature and high frequency of odd-man rushes. But the improvement in those extra periods — and avoiding them entirely — starts with cutting out unnecessary penalties that have limited the Jackets’ ability to sustain any offense. "It's not so much getting back in the race, it's about winning the next game," Tortorella said Tuesday after morning skate. "It's about giving yourself a chance to win the game and not lose sitting in the box and taking more than two or three (penalties) during a game. Your whole bench is disrupted. It's hard to do." Overall, the Jackets are one of the least-penalized teams in the league.

Here?¡¥s an all in one Cliff Notes explanation having to do with going to be the logic: PP% would be the fact misleading because element doesn?¡¥t reward teams who secondary the foremost goals do nothing more than going to be the teams who are people in addition and there will be the don't you think penalty enchanting allowing shorthanded goals. For any of those reasons, I think ?¡ãPP +/-?¡À paints a far a lot more accurate a special concerning which NHL teams had best and absolute worst power plays. Teams like going to be the Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Penguins and Edmonton Oilers had much better units than distinctive and you will have have realized on the 2010-11 despite the fact that the Buffalo Sabres,football practice jerseys, Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche?¡¥s PP businesses were actually a good deal more like double-edged swords. Re-introducing Penalty Kill Plus/Minus The league?¡¥s measurement to do with penalty end units is that often similarly faulty,create your own football jersey,all of which prompts the sister stat Penalty Kill Plus/Minus. Naturally,football jerseys,aspect and you will have not resemble as ?¡ãelegant?¡À when the fully necessary team having said that has a its keep ?¡ãminus?¡À telephone number,but this stat rewards teams which of you don?¡¥t recklessly take penalty after penalty and also behaves as a PK units credit gorgeous honeymoons as well scoring shorthanded goals,which can allow you to have pivotal moments on games.

  • Press Clips November 25, 2015
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips November 25, 2015 Predators-Sabres Preview AP November 25, 2015 The Buffalo Sabres have found goals hard to come by during a season-high, five-game slide. The Nashville Predators won't have any sympathy as they endure the longest scoring drought in club history after being shut out three straight times. These teams with floundering attacks meet Wednesday night, with the visiting Predators seeking a fifth straight win in the series. Buffalo (8-11-2) fell 2-1 at home to St. Louis on Monday to drop to 0-3-2 in its last five. The Sabres took the lead into the third period on former Predators center David Legwand's first goal only to falter over the final 20 minutes. "I thought it was a hard-fought game," coach Dan Bylsma said. "There was a lot of good in a lot of areas from our team. You'd like to find some goals in there." Bylsma's club isn't the only one searching for goals with Nashville (11-6-3) enduring a drought of 213 minutes, 47 seconds after Monday's 3-0 road loss to the New York Rangers. That's the longest in the NHL since the Coyotes were blanked for 245:33 in 2012-13. The Predators are on the verge of even more dubious distinctions. The last time a team was shut out four straight times happened to the 1967-68 Oakland Seals, who tied one of those games. The last club to lose by shutout four straight times was the Montreal Maroons, whose streak spanned the end of 1929-30 and beginning of 1930-31.

  • January 15 Press Clips
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips January 15, 2016 Bruins-Sabres Preview By Jeff Mezydlo AP January 15, 2016 The Boston Bruins' inability to hold a lead heading into the third period of the past two games has prolonged their recent struggles. That current rough stretch included a defeat to the Buffalo Sabres in the same fashion. As the Bruins try to avoid concluding their five-game trip with a season-high fourth straight defeat Friday night, they'll look to extend the Sabres' lengthiest home slide of 2015-16. Two nights after taking a 1-0 lead into the third period of a 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers, Boston (21-16-5) failed to hold a 2-1 advantage after two in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat at Philadelphia. The Bruins outshot the Flyers 32-21, including 12-7 in the final period. ''Right now, it's a frustrating time for our team,'' said coach Claude Julien, whose club has lost three in a row four times this season. ''Missed opportunities at one end and mistakes at the other, so we've got to turn the tide.'' Mired in a 2-7-1 stretch, Boston has scored 23 non-shootout goals in the last 11 contests. Since opening this trip with a 4-1 victory at New Jersey last Friday, the Bruins have totaled four goals while dropping three straight one- goal decisions. "(We) just have to stay even-keeled and stick with it," goaltender Tuukka Rask, who has a 3.01 goals-against average while going 0-4-1 in 2016, told the Bruins' official website.

The teams will be vying for a berth in the Stanley Cup Final against the winner of the other Semifinals series between the Vegas Golden Knights and Montreal Canadiens. The Lightning will be skating in their ninth Game 7 in franchise history (5-3) and for the sixth time in the final-four round (2-3).
