ACHA American Collegiate Hockey Association is a real College Hockey alternative
The American Collegiate Hockey Association might not boast the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s high profile, but it boasts more college hockey players and is rapidly growing.
Since forming in 1991, the ACHA has ballooned to around 460 teams, split into three divisions of men’s hockey and two women’s divisions.
While the ACHA has members all across the U.S., the organization has particularly thrived in the newer hockey markets such as the Southwest and places like Florida and Tennessee, where high-level players don’t have as many opportunities to play NCAA hockey after high school.
There are many ACHA Hockey Programs that provide forms of scholarship for players.
