Chadd 916 Report post Posted February 23, 2011 Around me there are some sizeable adult leagues that aren't affiliated with USA Hockey.USA Hockey was mostly youth hockey in most of the country until they started losing youth players. They have tried to cover up those youth losses by pushing rinks into registering their in house and adult leagues. I know the local rink gave in and signed up our league because USA Hockey told them they would never host any sanctioned tournaments until all of their leagues were registered with USAH.
