Ann Arbor Amateur Hockey Association

The AAAHA organization is committed to developing our youth in the greatest sport on earth; ICE HOCKEY. This is only possible through the tremendous efforts of our volunteer workforce of Coaches, Managers, Administrators and other Support Staff. We provide a competitive environment of learning and good sportsmanship at all skill levels for both boys and girls in the sport of hockey, and rely on the commitment of all members for the success of our programs.

The Ann Arbor Amateur Hockey Association (AAAHA) begins its 58th year this fall. AAAHA skates at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube. The season begins in early September and ends mid -March. AAAHA offers boys' and girls' travel & house teams, as well as instructional (Initiation and Cross-ice Mini-mite) programs and sticks & pucks.

The emphasis in the House League is a competitive and fun environment of learning and good sportsmanship at all skill levels for both boys and girls. We achieve this through the commitment of coaches and parents.

House teams are offered for kids born 1990 - 2001.  Mite, Squirt, Peewee and the All-Girl teams play against AAAHA teams within their division and have opportunities to play home/away games with teams from other associations, play in outside tournaments, and in AAAHA's Fall Classic tournament. Bantams and Midgets participate in the Little Caesar's Hockey League and play home/away games within their Little Caesar's division and have the opportunity to schedule additional home/away games with teams from other associations. The season ends in March with division playoffs leading to championship games on “Hockey Weekend” Mar 13 - 15.

Purpose:
Offer players an opportunity to enjoy hockey at a higher competitive level involving a deeper commitment.

General:
AAAHA will field Fall/Winter season travel teams based on the number of girls interested in the following age groups: 10-and-under (G10U) 12-and-under (G12U), 14-and-under (G14U), 16-and-under (G16U), and 19-and-under (G19U).

For Spring, AAAHA runs a mixed age travel league depending on the amount of interest.  There can also be travel teams formed of the age groups mentioned above.

LCAHL:
In the LCAHL, there are approximately eight to twenty teams in each age group. Each age group is subject to tiering to group teams with more comparable skill level. The teams in each division play a home and away series against each other. League play starts in October and is completed by mid-January. League playoffs start in February and are completed by mid March.

Most league games are within an hour drive of the Ann Arbor area. All LCAHL teams are sanctioned by USA Hockey and governed by MAHA (Michigan Amateur Hockey Association).
