Chaska Chanhassen Hockey Association

What Chaska Chanhassen Hockey Association does

Chaska Chanhassen Hockey Association (CCHA) is a volunteer-governed, nonprofit youth hockey association founded in 1986 that serves athletes aged 5-19 in Carver County, Minnesota. The association is restricted to players residing in or attending school within ISD 112 boundaries (with a waiver process) and is affiliated with USA Hockey, Minnesota Hockey, and District 6 for governance, certification, and league play. CCHA operates roughly 50+ teams spanning boys divisions (Rookie Mite, Mite, Squirt, Peewee, Bantam, Junior Gold) and girls divisions (6U through 15U), with a reported track record of 132 state championships, 42 NCAA commits, and 16 professional players.

CCHA's product surface comprises age-tiered hockey programs, four major hosted tournaments (Brick City Classic, Aurora Cup, Pond Hockey Classic, Mite Hockey Hoopla), specialized add-on programming (Goalie Development, Mite Pre-Season Camp), community events (Caddyshack Golf Classic, Celebrate Girls Hockey Day), and academic recognition (StormHawk Academic Awards). The organization runs on Crossbar's website platform for registration, team management, scheduling, and volunteer coordination, with integrations to Gamesheet for scoring, Arbiter Sports for referee scheduling, and various video streaming tools (YouTube, Hudl, GameChanger, SidelineHD). Two municipal facilities — Chaska Community Center and Victoria Recreation Center, providing four sheets of ice — serve as the physical delivery infrastructure.

Revenue is generated through member registration fees (with scholarships covering up to 50% for qualifying families and a half-off first-year Mite discount), tournament entry fees (e.g., $1,850 for Brick City, $1,600 for Aurora Cup), a tiered corporate sponsorship program (Stanley Cup, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Supporter), concessions, and an annual fundraising golf tournament. The Board of Directors is elected annually and oversees commissioners for each age division, plus dedicated Boys and Girls Hockey Development Committees and a Sponsorship Committee. The 2026-2027 season has locked in three Stanley Cup tier flagship sponsors (Kottemann Orthodontics, TRIA Orthopedics, Crown Automotive), indicating a formalized commercial fundraising layer beyond typical volunteer associations.
