The Brianna Decker Endowment for Girls Hockey was created through the USA Hockey Foundation by 2018 Olympic gold medalist Brianna Decker.
The fund provided grants to 8U and 10U female hockey programs within the Wisconsin Amateur Hockey Association - in Brianna's home state - in its first years. The grant program has been so successful, it is now open to USA Hockey associations across the United States.
Awards specific to this fund will be used exclusively to develop programs focused on increasing female youth participation in hockey by alleviating costs around ice and equipment, advertising and marketing, and overall development.
All awards will be paid to the qualifying USA Hockey association applying for the grant, and not to individuals. Grant requests must be submitted on an annual basis to The USA Hockey Foundation by the grant application deadline of June 1.
