-- USA Hockey Awards

Minnesota Hockey has a long-standing tradition of providing our players with certain awards based on their achievements. While the main focus should always be on the team and having fun, it is also important to reward those who push themselves to improve and attain a higher level of performance.

For that reason, Minnesota Hockey is proud to provide the following awards:

• Zero Award: For a goalkeeper playing a complete game without allowing a goal.
• Hat Trick Award:  For a player scoring three goals in one game.
• Playmaker Award:  For a player registering three assists in one game.

1. The recipient is a registered & rostered player.
2. The game was in league competition (not scrimmage or exhibition), a sanctioned tournament or a MN Hockey playoff involving only USA Hockey registered teams.
3. The game was officiated by registered USA Hockey referees.
4. Eligible player categories: All players Squirt/10U and above.
5. Limit of ONE of each award per player per season - (i.e. one Hat Trick, one Playmaker, and one Zero)

• No need to supply all of the back up documentation as in previous years.

TEAM MANAGERS: You should track stats for these awards throughout the season and submit on behalf of all players on your team.

It is HIGHLY recommended to submit these multiple times throughout the season.

It is likely that if you wait until February/March to submit these for your team that you will not see the patches until summertime, so PLEASE SUBMIT EARLY & OFTEN!
