AHSHA Fall 2020/2021 

FALL HOCKEY INFORMATION (Subject to change based on the COVID-19 pandemic)

Arizona High School Hockey Association (AHSHA) in partnership with the Arizona Coyotes will be entering into its 21st year of operation providing an opportunity for ice hockey players to participate in a competitive High School Hockey League representing their High School.

Fall League Dates: August 2020 – February 2021

Competitive Divisions:
Varsity D1
Varsity D2
Varsity D3
JV

Note: AHSHA does not have Try-Outs. All players who sign up to play will be assigned to teams based on the High School they attend. Coaches will then do player evaluations prior to the seeding tournament and assign players based on their skill level to one of the High School’s lower division teams (Varsity DII, Varsity DIII or JV team). If the High School has no other team, that player may be placed on a combined High School varsity or junior varsity team based on their skill level and geographical area. Pure Teams have players assigned from the same school. Combined School Teams are made up of schools that are grouped together based on the school district the players attend. We will attempt to keep players from the same school skating together. Players who are placed onto a Combined School Team may not be placed onto the same team they were assigned in the previous season.
 
Practices/Games:

Pre-Season Seeding Tournaments will take place on the 5th weekend in August and Labor Day Weekend (may include Friday games).
 
20 Practices (5) 60 min Pre-Season, (15) 80 min Regular Season

Playoffs: Single Elimination Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals and Championship Games in each Division
Each Player will receive 2 Tickets to an Arizona Coyotes Game for their 2020/2021 Season. Additional details will follow once the season has begun.
