In light of the pandemic, this year, USA Hockey will host two Zoom meetings during Hockey Week Across America: one with previous participants in the program, and one including a live Q&A session with two NHL officials. To date, USA hockey has introduced more than 216,950 children to the sport through its national Try Hockey for Free days.
