CELEBRATING over 40 YEARS OF HOCKEY EXCELLENCE

 

 CAHA is the premier Central Ohio Youth Hockey Organization and has been active since 1967. The central theme of CAHA is to provide the proper instruction of ice hockey fundamentals for boys and girls who range in age from 5-18 years old, as well as to provide an environment for the young athletes to continue developing athletic skills. A non-profit organization governed by the rules and regulations of USA Hockey, CAHA offers three levels of hockey instruction--the Initiation League, the House League, and the Travel League.

Here, you'll be able to get news, information, schedules, rosters, game results, directions and much much more. Check back frequently for the latest information about our club.  Looking for information on your favorite travel or house team?  Go to the Travel and House Teams page at the top.  Looking for information on CAHA?  Look at the pages on the left.

Concussion Information
Increased public awareness of the risks, symptoms and care of concussions has resulted in significant changes that affect youth sports.  While CAHA has addressed the issue in recent years through first aid training sessions for coaches and making information available, Ohio HB 143 of the 129th General Assembly, the "Return-to-Play Law" goes into effect April 26.

The new law sets requirements for youth athletic organizations and schools in treating young athletes showing concussion symptoms, removing them from activity and when they can return to play.  All coaches and referees are required to take an online certification course on concussions in sports.  Parents and guardians are to be provided and information sheet created by the Ohio Department of Health (posted below).  For our athletes, a child showing concussion symptoms must be removed from a practice or game and must be cleared by a medical professional before returning to play.
 
Coaches

All head or assistant coaches must take one of the free online training courses listed below and submit a screen print or hard copy of the certification to CAHA.  We ask our coaches to take the NFHS course but will accept the CDC certification.
