2023 American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) Convention Information

            

2023 AHCA Convention is April 26-29 at the Naples Grand Hotel, Naples, FL

AHCA Convention Registration Process:

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY as the process has now changed!

Due to the ACHA and AHCA having different locations now with the close of the Naples Beach and Gulf Club Hotel 2 years ago, the AHCA Coaches Convention will be implementing changes to the 2023 event, including how non-NCAA Varsity coaches (which includes ACHA coaches and staff) must register.

All non-NCAA Varsity coaches and staff interested in attending the AHCA Coaches Convention must register for the AHCA convention directly on their website - www.ahcahockey.com or here is the link - AHCA 2023 CONVENTION REGISTRATION PAGE

  1. 1st STEP - you must register as an Allied Member of the AHCA in order to register for their convention. The cost is $100 and here is the link - AHCA ALLIED MEMBERSHIP FORM
  2. 2nd STEP - As an AHCA Allied Member, you can now register for the 2023 convention by going to their website or clicking on this link - REGISTER FOR 2023 AHCA CONVENTION AS AN ALLIED MEMBER
  3. 3rd STEP - Scroll down the page and click on their link where it says "Paid AHCA members can now register for the 2023 AHCA Convention by logging into the Members Only Section by Clicking Here" and enter your login and password provided to you when you joined as an AHCA Allied Member. The cost is $225 by March 1, 2023, and then $235 after March 1.

* For any questions, please contact the AHCA directly at email - ahcahockey@comcast.net

ACHA Coaches and Staff:

  • For clarification purposes, you DO NOT have to register or attend the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) convention to participate in American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) events and meetings on April 28 and 29 at the Spanish Wells Golf & Country Club in Bonita Springs, FL!
  • To reiterate what is mentioned above, the AHCA (Coaches) Convention will be operating differently this year. There are no longer discounts provided to the ACHA or any other non-NCAA Varsity coaches or staff.
  • All non-NCAA Varsity coaches and staff that are interested in attending must register on their own and pay full cost of AHCA Allied Membership and then cost to attend the AHCA Coaches Convention.
  • The traditional "Vendor Show" at the AHCA Coaches Convention will now be very limited with only 6 live vendor/exhibitor booths. Other vendors have been invited to attend and will be listed in the vendor information booklet handed out at the convention, but only 6 vendors will be selected to be on display - here is a link to that information 2023 AHCA VENDOR INFORMATION 
  • The ACHA and USA Hockey will be unable to offer any Coaching (CEP) seminars at the AHCA Convention. If we are able to provide an option during our meeting in Bonita Springs, we will let you know.

The ACHA Annual Meetings are FREE for active ACHA members if you register before April 1, 2023 - ACHA Registration Page
