We are grateful to our donors and friends whose generosity, involvement and dedication have supported and sustained our organization even in these challenging economic times. Thanks to you, the Foundation and our great sport continue to flourish. Among the programs supported by the Foundation are exciting efforts to grow the game. USA Hockey’s membership development department focuses on acquiring new participants and retaining current players, while the American Development Model provides an age-appropriate coaching and training structure for associations across the country. These efforts combine to provide an optimal development blueprint for youth players to create a better, more enjoyable experience for each player while maximizing the player’s potential. And they are clearly bearing fruit, as for the first time in history, USA Hockey registered over 100,000 players in the under-8 age category in 2011. Our elite athletes continue to enjoy success, earning three gold medals in World Championships in the past year. We also have unprecedented numbers of Americans being drafted and playing in the NHL.

  • Chicago's Pro Sports Teams Support LGBTQ Community, Participate
    ChicagoPride.com News June 29, 2013 Chicago's pro sports teams support LGBTQ community, participate in Pride Parade By Daniel Cameron June 29, 2013 https://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/43373241 Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs, Fire and Sky participate in Chicago Pride Parade CHICAGO, IL -- Chicago has always been known as a sports town with six professional sports teams, two of which are MLB teams, and throngs of impassioned fans in town and out. Recently the local athletic community has added a new face--that of pro-gay allies. The sporting community and local major league teams have been stepping up to support the LGBTQ community in various ways, most recently with five of the six teams planning to participate in the 44th annual Chicago Pride Parade. Former NFL player, activist, and openly gay man Wade Davis, who played for the Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins and Seattle Seahawks, was named the Grand Marshal for this year's parade. The Chicago Fire Soccer Club also stepped out in support by announcing defender Gonzalo Segares and midfielder Brendan King will ride on the PepsiCo float. Segares and King, both straight allies, will be joined by Fire mascot Sparky. Also, Chicago Sky Guard and lesbian woman Sharnee Zoll-Norman, a rookie with the Sky in her second season playing in the WNBA, will ride on the KPMG double-decker bus in the parade, along with her wife, Serita Norman, according to the Windy City Times. Bill Gubrud, executive director of the recently-created National Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame, said there is clear indication the tide is starting to turn when it comes to gay athletes in professional sports.
