Any programs go under because of the pandemic?

This board may have been lost to covid. I suspect most private schools will be back.
We’ll lose some public school teams. Few schools will close in the next couple years.
CHF seems dead? No post updates in awhile on Twitter, web site down
Cali…CHF is forging ahead. 120 teams-FLA to Massachusetts. Been revising the by-laws and redoing the website…lots of hardwork going on behind the scenes to make the better option even better.
Good to know
Do teams need aau and USAHockey insurance to play ACHA teams?
CHF teams have AAU which will allow their teams to play anyone. The AAU coverage is comprehensive for the CHF team, their opponents( CHF or acha) and the officials. Been told acha/USAHockey do not do the same and are encouraging no crossover play, but thats backdoor talk no official announcement from acha/USA Hockey.
Yes, I know, it’s been challenged before and USAHockey won.
Hope CHF does well
When will the list be displayed for all?
What’s the biggest reason for growth of chf?
Cali…which list are we looking for? Right now the CHF has 7 conferences (from Fla to Mass.) and approx 120 teams…thats a fluid number as some teams return to any hockey is still undetermined as well as a number of conferences still debating a move over.
Myhockeyrankings has a list of teams. Not sure how accurate the count is (could be more/less), but the ACHA site is inaccurate with their team listings as well.
We are thinking about joining the CHF… can anyone answer the following questions:
DC,
I*ll do my best, but might need to call on a friend for the AAU questions.
CHF has a great plan, let the Michigan teams run the acha and let the ACHA have their d1. Anyone know why the championship is named after Murdoch?

I’m not sure how ACHA/USAHockey argument holds up? It’s k&k insurance!!!
When will the ACHA disavow their former coaches?
I would imagine so, but someone from AAU/CHF should verify
The dues vary based on tournament/non-tournament bound. This is good for leagues who have programs that struggle every year. The low end ones pay less (knowing they have no chance from the beginning) and the top ones can play lower end still for “quota” purposes
The CHF would be stupid not to allow for this. Ultimately should either entity care if they are collecting dues?
This is foolishness by both organizations. Not sure about ACHA credibility when you have D3 teams that are capable of beating D1 teams. The CHF isn’t big enough to start worrying about division structure- its Tournament bound or not Tournament bound and nothing else should matter.
Per the AAU site yes AAU is valid in Canada
Wshl uses aau and operates only in Canada.
Agree, in the past too many teams had to go to Michigan 2x to go to regionals or another won 3 games, too much waste in dues to subsidize everyone else.
Tournament and non tournament bound are good ideas.
I know with aau, the opponent doesn’t need aau insurance to play the game.
So JTurk, how is the CHF more expensive than the ACHA for tournament bound teams? I thought the CHF was created to reduce costs? What are the $850/$350 fees for if it’s a volunteer organization?
Someone has to pay for nationals?
Yes. I remember that national tournament bound teams had to pay an extra $500.00. So with approximately a 120 teams and let’s say 100 of those teams are declaring to be tournament bound. That’s a lot of money so where is it going if everyone is volunteering their time. It seems to me that now ACHA D3 is doing away with regionals they offer a lot more for less money.
But everyone knows Michigan runs ACHA D3 and has for years. Funny, a lot of those schools will be gone in a few years.
ACHA needs competition
USAHockey needs competition
I’m curious as to what you are referring to? So Michigan runs D3 because those teams typically win nationals?? In what ways does Michigan run ACHA D3? So does that mean that the CHF was created so they didn’t have to deal with Michigan teams winning nationals? So let me get this straight CHF is for the best interest of the player but it’s more expensive?? That was the biggest compliant of the people that left the ACHA to form the CHF. I’m confused.
