USA Hockey National Championship Hub 2025: High School Champions Decided as Tier 1 & 2 Tournaments Get Closer
Updated March 30 at 11:15 p.m. EDt
This document will continue to be updated throughout the USA Hockey National Championships being held at various locations around the United States April 1-6.
It won’t be long now!
USA Hockey Nationals Week is almost here, and starting on Tuesday, April 1, more than 300 Youth and Girls hockey teams from around the United States will begin competing at various locations for national championships at the Tier 1 and Tier 2 levels.
There will be 124 teams competing for Tier 1 championships, with another 208 playing for national titles in Tier 2 divisions. On the Youth side, the Tier 1 championships are divided into 13O, 14U, 15O, 16U and 18U age brackets, while Girls Tier 1 champs will be crowned in 14U, 16U and 19U divisions. The Youth Tier 2 championships feature 14U, 16U and 18U competition, while Tier 2 Girls compete for 14U, 16U and 19U titles.
There will be 200 Youth and 132 Girls teams hoping to skate their way to a national championship.
USA Hockey divides the United States into 12 Districts: Atlantic, Central, Mid-Am, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New England, New York, Northern Plains, Pacific, Rocky Mountain, and Southeastern. At the Tier 1 level, district tournaments are held in each region, with the champions automatically qualifying for Nationals. The remainder of the tournament fields, which are comprised of between 12 and 16 teams, are filled with highly ranked “at-large” teams. States with the highest USA Hockey enrollments get to send their state champions to compete for Tier 1 titles.
Tier 2 National Championship fields are comprised of state champions from various parts of the country, with the Youth divisions each divided into three separate tournaments (1A, 2A and 3A) based on various criteria, and the Girls age brackets divided into two (1A and 2A). In all, more than 20 National Champions will be crowned by USA Hockey.
Meanwhile, USA Hockey High School National Championships got underway March 26 and ran through March 30 in Irvine, Calif. High School Nationals are divided into 1A, 2A, 3A and Girls divisions, with 52 teams competing across the four divisions.
High School National Champions were crosned March 30 in all four divisions:
USA Hockey 1A High School National Championship Game
Waterloo Warriors 5, Lincoln Stars 2

Shattuck-St. Mary's (18U #2) 3, Fairmont Prep 2 (OT)
Marc-Alan Jr. Araujo scored 10:45 into overtime off a feed from Boris Posinger as the Sabres captured their fourth consecutive USA Hockey High School National Championship. Shattuck scored twice in the final three minutes of regulation to force OT, stunning the throng of fans who were pulling for the school from nearby Anaheim, Calif. Davis Damrow and Christian Plaga scored the late third-period goals for the Sabres after Alexander Raskin and William Urtel had given Fairmont a 2-0 lead. Shattuck goalie Calum Keating turned away 15 shots, while Matthew Bennett made 37 saves for Fairmont.
