Supposedly there is a 37 page E-Mail that is floating around that is being sent from USA Hockey about the upcoming changes to USA Hockey.
Apparently the NHL is going to give money to USA Hockey to compensate for USA players that are drafted, probably similar to what Canada is getting.
Five parts to the program; NTDP
Regional Elite
Elite Referees
Elite Coaches
Tier I Jr. A
The interesting development is that USA Hockey will be announcing a major Elite player initiative at the the winter meetings next week. In a nutshell it involves placing the best of the best (Squirt thru Major Midget) into 6 regional centers with 6 teams each at each age level. Of course monies would be used to help finance the costs.
This info was plagerised from the Chicago area Blog.
