Three-Point System for Preliminary Round• Three points shall be awarded for the winning team at the

conclusion of regulation.• One point will be awarded to both teams at the conclusion of

regulation if the game is tied.• An additional point shall be awarded for the team winning

the game in either the overtime period or the Game-Winning Shots Procedure.

Overtime Procedures• If a preliminary-round game is tied after three periods, a five-

minute four-on-four sudden-death overtime period shall be played immediately after an intermission of three minutes. The teams will defend the same goals as in the third period.

• If a playoff, quarterfinal, semifinal or bronze-medal game is tied after three periods, a 10-minute four-on-four sudden-death overtime period shall be played immediately after an intermission of three minutes. The teams will defend the same goals as in the third period.

• If the gold-medal game is tied after three periods, a 20-minute four-on-four sudden-death overtime will start immediately after a 15-minute intermission during which time the ice will be cleaned. The teams will change ends.

• If no goal is scored in the overtime period of any game, the Game-Winning Shots Procedure will apply.

Game-Winning Shots Procedure• All shots will be held at one end of the ice surface. Three

players from each team will take shots alternately until a decisive goal is scored. If the score is still tied after three shots by each team, the procedure will continue with a tiebreak sudden-death shootout by one player from each team. The teams may use the same player or new players for each shot in the tiebreak shootout until the outcome is decided.

membership:Nearly 600,000 players, coaches, officials and fans of the game

USAHockey,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.

USA Hockey’s nATIonALTeAmdeveLoPmenTPRoGRAm

Founded: 1996 Location: Ann Arbor, Mich.website:usahockey.com/usantdp

nHLdraftImpact: 181 players drafted including 38 first-round picks; Three players were selected first overall: Patrick Kane (Chicago, 2007),

Erik Johnson (St. Louis 2006) and Rick DiPietro (NY Islanders, 2000).

In1996,USA Hockey launched a revolutionary new initiative called the National Team Development Program, based in Ann Arbor, Mich. In its 14th season of play in 2010-11, the goal of this full-time development program is to prepare student-athletes under the age of 18 for participation on U.S. National Teams and success in their future hockey careers. Its efforts focus not only on high-caliber participation on the ice, but creating well-rounded individuals off the ice.

The program is composed of two squads - the U.S. National Under-18 and Under-17 Teams. The Under-17 Team competes in the United States Hockey League and also participates in three international events annually. The U.S. National Under-18 Team’s schedule includes games against NCAA Division I and III opponents, contests vs. USHL teams, as well as competition in three international tournaments.

The Ann Arbor Ice Cube, a first-class facility consisting of three ice sheets, locker rooms, offices, a training area and weight room is home to the NTDP. Unlike other competitive athletic teams, the success of the NTDP is not gauged on wins and losses. Instead, the focus is on the development of skills and acquiring experience against older competitors.

“The National Team Development Program provides a tremendous opportunity for the elite young players in our country,” said Ron DeGregorio, president of USA Hockey. “We’ve developed many programs over the years at USA Hockey and the NTDP is among our very best initiatives.”

wHATTHePRoGRAmHASmeAnT

In evaluating how the NTDP has impacted hockey in the United States, consider:

• The U.S. has won the gold medal at the IIHF World Men’s U18 Championship in 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010, with each team comprised primarily of NTDP players.

• The U.S., with a team comprised largely of NTDP players, captured its first-ever gold medal at the IIHF World Junior Championship in 2004 and followed it up with another title in 2010.

• In 2009-10, more than 45 NTDP alumni were playing in the National Hockey League.
