SYHA Honored by USA Hockey The Springfield Youth Hockey Association of Springfield, Mo., was chosen as the inaugural winner of the USA Hockey Grow the Game Award, presented by Total Hockey. The award recognizes efforts to spread the game of hockey through various programs and initiatives. In Springfield , coaches challenged their existing players to extend an invitation to their friends to see what hockey was all about. Each player distributed 30 Valentine’s Day cards to their friends, totaling more than 1,000 cards. Enclosed in each card was a coupon for a free skate at the local ice rink. In the first month, several hundred free skate cards were redeemed. Ice rink employees still see redemptions daily. SYHA uses the information provided on the free skate coupons to contact each skater individually and offer him/her the opportunity to join the youth hockey program. In April, Total Hockey and USA Hockey challenged youth hockey associations nationwide to tell their stories of growing the game at a local level. Entries came from across the nation, describing endeavors about unique and creative ways to increase interest in hockey among America ’s youth. Entries were judged on four criteria: creativity, media/marketing potential, transferability to other local programs interested in growing the game and the overall impact the program had on the local youth association. As the winning entry, SYHA received a $2,500 Total Hockey gift card. |
