posted 10/07/2009 USA Hockey, Massachusetts Hockey (and fully supported by the Boston Bruins) are introducing a new approach to Youth Hockey – this is being called the American Development Model.
This link will get you to the USA Hockey ADM site: http://www.admkids.com/
The American Development Model (ADM) is being instituted to help retain youth hockey players and to develop all players. We are focusing our efforts on the ages of 4 to 8 years old.
The role of the ADM is to provide guidelines, standards and structure, circulate best practices, create a venue for two-way communication - not to create mandates. The building blocks are to:
- Play – Introduce skills, introduce athleticism, friendships begin, age appropriate training and practice, and fun.
- Love – Develop skills, develop athleticism, develop friendships, age appropriate training and practice, and fun.
- Excel – Focus, prioritize hockey among other activities, friendships, competition becomes more important, mastery of skills, and maintain the fun.
The following are the 8 & Under (Mites) recommendations:
- ‘FUNdamentals’ Stage
- Fundamental Movement Skills - A, B, C’s – Agility, Balance & Coordination and Flexibility
- Optimal Window is ‘Speed 1’ – Agility, Quickness, Change of Direction, <5 Sec Intervals
- Off-Ice Training – 1x per week @ 30+ min. Prior to Practice (A, B, C’s + Speed)
- Play Multiple Sports – 25% Hockey – 75% Other Sports
- Divide Players Into Top 1/3, Middle 1/3, Beginner 1/3
The implementation will be conducted by highly qualified individuals who will be supportive in anyway necessary. The individuals below are available to speak to and work directly with programs interested in adopting the ADM and the USA Hockey Grow Hockey Program with the efforts of the Massachusetts Hockey’s Mike Cheever’s Grant Program.
Keri-Anne Allan from Massachusetts Hockey is the 3rd Vice President, member of the Player Development Committee and Chair of the Long Range Planning Committee. She graduated Northeastern University playing four years for the Huskies. She is a member of the 1997 ECAC championship team, 1998 ECAC All-Star Honorable Mention and Northeastern’s Unsung Hero Award winner. Her graduate work in education was obtained at Framingham State College. Keri-Anne is a middle school teacher and has coached hockey for 11 years and is currently the head coach at Groton School.
Roger Grillo from USA Hockey is the Massachusetts regional manager. Roger is a native of Apple Valley, Minn., recently finished his 12th season as the head men’s ice hockey coach at Brown. His tenure was highlighted by three straight winning seasons (2003-05) and an appearance in the ECAC Hockey Championship weekend, the first time for Brown since 1994. Previously, Grillo served seven seasons as assistant men’s hockey coach at the University of Vermont (1990-97), where he helped coach the squad to the 1997 ECAC Hockey regular-season title and NCAA tournament appearances in 1996 and 1997.
Lori Digiacomo from the Boston Bruins is the Manager of Youth Hockey Development. Lori is a native of Temecula, CA and a graduate of Northeastern University in the class of 2006.

| | | | by P Demers posted 09/29/2009 Mass Hockey breaks the state into 10 districts – MYH is considered a part of District 3. In order to determine the District champ, each of the ten Districts conducts what are called "Playdowns". For each district, all of the teams that enter the playdown for that particular district play hockey games in a single elimination tournament through the months of September - December.
Each District Champion advances to the State Tournament. On occasions, a District Tournament Runner Up also advances to the State tournament. For those teams fortunate enough to advance, it can be a truly great experience for players and parents. Then during the month of March each year, Massachusetts Hockey conducts State Tournaments at each age level.
MYH teams have had to win up to four Playdown games to advance to the State Tournament. The number of Playdown games a team plays is simply a function of how many teams from other Programs within District 3 sign up for the Playdowns.
In certain years, some MYH teams have received a “bye” to the State Tournament and not been required to play a Playdown Game – and been allowed to advance directly to the State Tournament – this occurs when Milton might host or co-host the state playdown finals at our home rink
If your team is scheduled to play you must show up. You cannot re-schedule the game to a more convenient time or venue (even if you are playing another MYH team) as games can only be played at the venues designated by Mass Hockey for Playdowns. There are heavy fines $$$$ for no shows – and a no-show can impact the entire MYH Program’s participation in the State Tournament not only for the current year, but future years as well.
The teams can only play the players officially listed on their rosters (no call ups from lower teams). In addition, each Coach must meet the coaching certification requirements as well. Coaches who are not “patched” at the appropriate level will not be allowed on the bench. Before you commit your team to Playdowns, make sure kids will not be away on vacations and that Coaches are current with their certifications.
