United States National Senior Hockey Championships



The Amateur Athletic Union conducted annual National Ice Hockey Championships from 1931–1948, except during most of the World War II years.

Starting in 1938, the Amateur Hockey Association of the United States (USA Hockey) also arranged a championship. Although the federation organized an open senior championship until 2011, it was much less prestigious after 1953, when the top minor league teams stopped competing in the tournament. After 2000, the competitions were known as Adult instead of Senior.
