The Connecticut Hockey Conference (CHC) consists of 38 youth hockey organizations throughout Connecticut. These local organizations make it possible for between 10 and 12 thousand young hockey players to have the opportunity to enjoy amateur hockey at many different levels. CHC provides the structure and the means for boys and girls age 4 to 19 to learn the necessary skills to play the sport of hockey. In order to further ensure the development of our players, CHC also provides training for coaches and officials.
As we are well aware, hockey is a competitive sport. CHC organizes Connecticut’s 775 teams into levels according to age group. These teams compete during the season in their appropriate levels and are ranked by a staff of CHC officials. Each level is structured to help meet the needs of the youth player.
