SKATE 2009 IS COMPLETE!  

Once again, a heartfelt thanks to all of the volunteers at the association level who continue to be the backbone of the SKATE program. In 2009, 32 youth hockey associations implemented the program, promoting the concept of academic achievement to more than 10,000 young players.

2009 DESIGNS IN FOR SKATE AWARD CERTIFICATES AND BAG TAGS!

Check out the "Forms" page to see the design for the 2009 SKATE Award Certificates and Bag Tags, designed by former goalie Mike Minick. These were provided to all registered associations as part of the registration fees.

Welcome To Skaters Keep Achieving Through Education (S.K.A.T.E.) !

The S.K.A.T.E. program has become one of the most successful initiatives in youth athletics because it enjoys the universal support of young hockey players, parents and youth hockey organizations. The lifeblood of the S.K.A.T.E. program are the hundreds of volunteers at the local level who help to organize, activate and execute the program for the kids in their respective communities.

As competitors, young players set goals for themselves on the ice and in the classroom. Like the cheers they hear for goals, assists and good hustle, they respond positively to recognition and reward for their performances in the classroom. The fact is, 99% of youth hockey players will never play professional hockey, so the idea of placing greater emphasis on education makes sense.

We invite every youth hockey organization in America to participate in the S.K.A.T.E. program. It's fairly easy to implement and history shows that it attracts outstanding support from players, coaches, parents and corporate sponsors.
