Atlantic Hockey

The Atlantic Hockey Association (AHA), also known for short as Atlantic Hockey, was a group of American colleges and universities that played NCAA Division I men's ice hockey against one another every season. The conference began play in 1997 as the hockey league of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and became a separate entity in 2003. It operated through the 2023–24 season, after which it merged with the women-only College Hockey America (CHA) to form Atlantic Hockey America.^[1]

Before the merger, the Association and CHA were closely linked. Although the conferences had separate bylaws and governing boards, they had a single commissioner and a combined office staff from 2010 to the merger.^[2] Also, three of the Association's final members housed their women's teams in CHA. All members of both conferences became members of the merged AHA.
