As USA Hockey continues adapting to the coronavirus situation, the safety of participants always remains our top priority. Thank you to all players, parents, coaches, officials, administrators and volunteers for your continued passion and support for hockey in the United States and we’re all looking forward to returning to more normal times as soon as possible. In the meantime, all updates related to the coronavirus situation can be found here.

The 2019-2020 regular hockey season has come to a close.  A very special thank you to:

All Coaches; for their daily dedication, for sharing their time and talents and for fostering a love for the game.

All Managers; the countless hours spent "behind the scenes" to ensure that things ran smoothly (and were fun) is much appreciated.

All Parents; who drove, cheered, froze, paid the hockey tab and willingly adjusted the family schedule around hockey.

All Board Members; there would be no youth hockey without your additional time, ideas and commitment to your association.

All Referees; who kept our kids safe, helped to teach the game and continued to come back again and again even when things may have gotten rough.

Finally, during the past couple weeks, 129 teams throughout District 2 each played to earn the top spot in their bracket.  Thank you to Dave Hursh, Kevin Souja, Terry Thorshiem and many other D2 board members who worked for months to organize (and then work at) the D2 playoffs.  It was a huge undertaking and a great success.

Don't forget to check back on the D2 webpage to see how our teams play through regions and state tournaments.  Best wishes to all players who just played their last youth hockey game.  "To play the game is good, to win is better but to love the game is best of all."
