Kelley Steadman Gets USA Hockey Nod For Her Impact

Kelley Steadman is getting recognized by USA Hockey for her contributions to the game, and that kind of nod usually means the people upstairs have been paying attention for a while. The Lightning connection gives this a familiar Tampa Bay sheen, but the bigger story is the respect built behind the scenes. This is the sort of honor that rarely comes out of nowhere in hockey, because the sport tends to remember who actually moved it forward.
