USA Hockey has adopted the American Development Model Red, White and Blue program in conjunction with the Long Term Athlete Development Plan (LTAP) and is implementing it throughout the Nation. USA Hockey for this upcoming season has allowed some transition to from Full Ice play to Half or Cross Ice play.
New York State Amateur Hockey member associations voted overwhelmingly to implement ADM RED, WHITE and BLUE. As a result, New York State Amateur Hockey Rules mandate that all 8 & under games will be played as Half or Cross Ice began with the 2012-2013 season.
Please refer to ADM Guidelines and program overview posted below on this site.
The American Development Model (ADM) provides ALL AGE LEVEL appropriate guidelines and curriculum to hockey associations across New York State to help more kids play, love and excel in hockey.

American Development Model (ADM)
It’s a detailed plan for long-term athletic development related to the sport of ice hockey.
What is the philosophy behind this model?
The philosophy is simple. We want to promote recreational, instructional and competitive hockey within the Minor Hockey Associations of New York State. By making some changes in our structure we will increase the opportunity for players to learn and develop basic skills, through high-tempo practices without the distractions associated with an overemphasis on winning. Skill development will be encouraged at all age groups, regardless of ability, and we will seek to promote an enjoyable recreational experience in which ALL AGE LEVEL players can learn and have fun.
