Each Atlantic District Official Should Have a Unique, Up-to-Date Email Address
Did you know that 210 officials in the Atlantic District don't get a copy of the District Newsletter because they do not have a unique, up-to-date email address listed in the USA Hockey Membership Database?
Constant Contact, our email list management service, automatically filters out officials who give the same email address as another official when they register with USA Hockey. Most email list management services that we evaluated also do this, so we couldn't really avoid the problem.
As a result, every official should have their own email address, despite the fact that USA Hockey doesn't require this.
Sharing the same email address with a parent, a brother or sister often means that you won't get your own copy of the newsletter. You may also miss out on an email notifying you of cancellation of a seminar or other targeted information we send you based on your registration level or registration status.
Is Your Email Address Out-of-Date?
Another problem we've noticed is that officials who are registering as "returning" officials from last season sometimes forget to change their email address if it's necessary during the registration process. This is because USA Hockey identifies you as a returning official, presents the same registration data to you as last year, and asks if the old information is OK.
Many people who have changed their email address within the past year say "Yes" without reading the entire page of information. They end up getting no email messages from USA Hockey or the Atlantic District as a result.
If you want to change your email address, visit the Update Email Address page on USAHockeyRegistration.com.
