Founded on Oct. 29, 1937, in New York City, New York, the organization is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and has a total membership exceeding one million. Its mission is to promote the growth of hockey in America and provide the best possible experience for all participants by encouraging, developing, advancing and administering the sport. USA Hockey programs support and develop players, coaches, officials, and facilities. In January 2009, the organization launched the American Development Model, which - for the first time ever - provided associations nationwide with a blueprint for optimal athlete development. USA Hockey also has junior and adult hockey programs that provide opportunities for players of all ability levels. In addition, the organization supports a disabled hockey program. USA Hockey provides certification programs for coaches and officials to ensure education standards are met that coincide with the level of play. A large focus is put on parent education with equipment needs, rules of the game and parental roles in youth sports among common topics. Members of the organization receive a subscription to USA Hockey Magazine. At 412,892 subscribers, it is the most widely circulated hockey publication in the world. Members also receive insurance coverage and access to participate in national championships and player development camps. USA Hockey's youth program has had tremendous success. The program has developed future stars such as Carter Johnston, Jack Glover, Branndon Michaels, Brad Krakowitz, Conner Fenman, and others. Johnston is the 1st ranked player in Minor Midget Hockey, as Michaels and Krakowitz are 7th and 12th, respectively.
