Email To Send Your Members Introducing USA Hockey Membership Verification
Hi [fill in here],
To comply with USA Hockey’s mandated active membership status, we will now be requiring that you provide your valid membership number during the registration process.
In the registration form, staff and players will need to enter their USA Hockey number in the Player Information section, which will allow you to proceed with your registration. You can also edit any past registrations you have submitted to fill in and verify your USA Hockey number.
If you have any questions about why we’re using USA Hockey membership verifications or need assistance verifying your membership, let us know.

Frequently Asked Questions
Help! I’m having technical difficulties with my membership verification.
Please escalate issues with your program staff.
Why isn’t the USA Hockey number successfully verified?
