College Hockey Association Welcome to the College Hockey Association!
The CHA is a collegiate ice hockey league comprised of new or reorganizing programs that are looking for a place to play competitive hockey with limited restraints. Every player in the CHA maintains the academic standards of at least the ACHA D-III level. However, membership into the ACHA is optional for CHA members. Regardless of ACHA affiliation, all CHA members are insured under USA Hockey. The goal of CHA is to maintain a competitive atmosphere for teams who are willing and interested while offering the flexibility needed in some of today’s ice hockey clubs and colleges.

Hilbert College Wins their 2nd CHA Championship…

Hilbert College stood tall at the 4th Annual CHA Playoffs by winning their second consecutive CHA Championship after winning three games straight.  Wins over CMU 7-0 and CUP-II 5-3 landed Hilbert in the title game against Case Reserve where the “Hawks” soared to an 8-5 victory.

Congratulations to Hilbert player #16-Jason Baldi (Frontier High School) for winning the MVP award for his stellar performance in the 4th Annual CHA Playoffs. 

 

Congratulations must also go out to CHA new-comers Case Reserve who had secured their spot in the CHA Championship by a super tight win over Allegheny 5-4 with only seven seconds remaining in regulation.  Then, in the semi-final round, Case Reserve went on to beat CCAC-North 5-4 in double overtime!  There’s no question this is the best season for the “Spartans” so there’s no doubt they’re ready to get into the mix next year and vie for the CHA title!

 

The CHA would like to thank Chuck Bell, Marty Palma and the support staff of CCAC for making the 4th Annual CHA Playoffs a huge success!  The event was run without a hitch and it’s all due to the efforts of Chuck, Marty and Staff.  Thank you CCAC, we could not have done it without you!!!

 

Finally, thank you goes out to all the family and friends who joined us for this spectacular weekend.  Simply put, without your support and dedication the CHA would not be possible. 

 

We would like to wish everyone in the CHA a happy and relaxing off-season.  We look forward to getting back to work next fall.  See you then!!!
