USA Hockey, Inc., is the National Governing Body for the sport of ice hockey in the
United States. 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’s primary emphasis is on the support and development of grassroots
hockey programs. In January 2009, the organization launched the American
Development Model, which - for the first time ever - provides associations
nationwide with a blueprint for optimal athlete development.
While youth hockey is a main focus, USA Hockey also has vibrant junior and adult
hockey programs that provide opportunities for players of all ability levels. The
organization also supports a growing disabled hockey program and maintains an
inline hockey program to provide structure and support for its growth across the
nation.
Beyond serving those who play the game at the amateur level, USA Hockey has
certification programs for coaches and officials to ensure education standards are
met that coincide with the level of play. Furthermore, 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 are entitled to many benefits, including a
subscription to USA Hockey Magazine, the most widely circulated hockey
publication in the world; excess accident, general liability and catastrophic
insurance coverage; access to USAHockey.com; and opportunities to participate
in USA Hockey National Championships, as well as player development camps.
USA Hockey is the official representative to the United States Olympic
Committee and the International Ice Hockey Federation. In this role, USA
Hockey is responsible for organizing and training men’s and women’s teams
for international tournaments, including the IIHF World Championships and
the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Closer to home, USA Hockey
works closely with the National Hockey League and the National Collegiate
Athletic Association on matters of mutual interest.
USA Hockey is divided into 12 geographical districts throughout the United States.
Each district has a registrar to register teams; a referee-in-chief to register officials
and organize clinics; a coach-in-chief to administer education program for coaches; a
risk manager to oversee liability and safety programs; and a skill development program
administrator to facilitate learn-to-play programs for youth players and their parents.

Games against teams from the Western Collegiate Hockey

two-minute intermission. If the game remains tied, three
players from each team will be chosen for a shootout. If
still tied, the shootout continues in single-player rounds
until a winner is determined. Players who participated in
the first round are ineligible until every other player from
their team has shot.

Amidon has a multitude of international playing experience on her resume, including
winning a silver medal as a member of the U.S. Women’s National Team at the 1992 IIHF
World Women’s Championship.
In early 2008, after Amidon had been in her role with the national governing body just a year
and a half, Team USA captured gold medals at both the International Ice Hockey Federation
World Women’s U18 Championship and the IIHF World Women’s Championship. Then, at
the 2008 Women’s Four Nations Cup, Team USA earned its first championship since 2003.
In 2009, both the U.S. Women’s National Under-18 Team and the U.S. Women’s National

– Amidon led the Polar Bears to unrivaled success. She guided the team to a 140-52-12
overall record, which included four NCAA tournament appearances, two New England
Small College Athletic Conference championships and four NESCAC championshipgame appearances.
Bowdoin began its rise to national prominence during the 2001-02 season, a year in
which Amidon guided the Polar Bears to a school-record 23 victories, the NESCAC
championship and the school’s first-ever appearance in the NCAA tournament. For
her efforts, she was honored as the NESCAC Coach of the Year.
The 2002-03 campaign brought even more success, as Amidon guided Bowdoin back

Head Coach
Beyond his numerous roles with Team USA,

Johnson has taken the Badger program to
national prominence in his first six years at
the helm. Under his guidance, the Badgers
have advanced to the NCAA championship
game in each of the past four seasons and
captured the title in three of those years (2006,
2007, 2009). Since the 2005–06 campaign,
Wisconsin has recorded 135 wins, more than
any other team in the nation.
The 2006, 2007 and 2009 Western Collegiate
Hockey Association Coach of the Year and
American Hockey Coaches Association
Division I Coach of the Year, Johnson led the
Badgers to back-to-back WCHA regularseason, playoff and NCAA championships,

2006-07 campaign, Johnson’s team broke or
tied 18 NCAA team and individual records,
including wins in a season (36), fewest losses
(one), best winning percentage (.927) and
most shutouts (18). Johnson leads all active

1996-02. In addition, Johnson coached
professionally, directing the Colonial Hockey
League-expansion Madison Monsters to a 3730-7 mark in the 1995-96 season and earning
CHL Coach of the Year honors.
Meanwhile, Johnson has represented the
United States as a player in 13 international
tournaments, including
eight
world
championships. Most notably, he led the 1980
U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team to the
gold medal, tallying a team-leading 11 points,
including two goals in the “Miracle On Ice”
game against the Soviet Union.
Additionally, Johnson played at the University
of Wisconsin, where he garnered WCHA
Rookie of the Year honors in 1977 and went on
to become the school’s second all-time
leading scorer with 256 points, including a
still-standing school-record 125 goals in just
three seasons. He was a two-time AllAmerica selection (1978, 1979) and earned
league MVP accolades in 1979.
Johnson enjoyed an 11-year National Hockey
League career, during which time he racked
up 508 points in 669 games. He enjoyed stints
with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Minnesota
North Stars, Hartford Whalers, St. Louis Blues
and New Jersey Devils.
Among his numerous accolades throughout
the years, Johnson, the son of legendary
coach Bob Johnson, is a member of the U.S.
Hockey Hall of Fame and the IIHF Hall of
Fame.
Johnson, a native of Madison, Wis., earned his
bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from
Wisconsin in 1994. He regularly resides in

women's ice hockey team, is in his third season on the
staff of the U.S. Women’s National Program. He will serve
as an assistant coach for Team USA through the 2010
Olympic Winter Games.
In November 2008, Flint was an assistant coach for the
U.S. Women’s Select Team at the 2008 Women's Four
Nations Cup, where Team USA took home its first

which included a 17-1-1 mark in the ECAC East to secure
first place. In their four seasons as a varsity team under

championships and three ECAC Open Tournament
championships. Flint was recognized as ECAC East
Coach of the Year and a finalist for National Coach of the
Year three consecutive seasons from 2006-08. Because
of its status as a non-scholarship Division II institution,
St. Anselm was not eligible to compete in the ECAC East
Tournament or the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Flint produced three ECAC East Players of the Year, two
ECAC East Rookies of the Year, one ECAC East Goalie of
the Year, one First Team All-American and three Second

St. Anselm.
From 1999-2008, Flint also worked at the Superskills
Training Center in Tewksbury, Mass., as the director of

train both collegiate and professional goaltenders,
including NHL goalies Peter Skudra, Andrew Raycroft
and Scott Clemmensen. He now works with Stop It
Goaltending in Woburn, Mass., as an on-ice instructor.
A 1993 graduate of North Adams State College (now the
Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts), Flint received his
bachelor’s degree in biology with a concentration in
sports medicine. Flint was a four-year goaltender on the
varsity men’s ice hockey team at North Adams State and
was named the team’s MVP as a senior.

including two daughters, spend many hours
on the rink playing hockey.

hockey on their programs. Norway declines,
but Japan accepts to showcase the Olympic
debut of women’s ice hockey.

National Team in 1992.
