More and more hockey players are staying in the game longer than ever and Baby Boomers make up the largest demographic segment in the US.  Each year USA Hockey holds national tournaments for over 40, 50, & 60 divisions.  Members of CAHA's adult hockey community are looking to form teams to represent the affiliate at these tournaments as well as others for events targeted at "more experienced" hockey players.  Don't let your kids (or grand kids) have all the fun!    Click here to find out more about forming a team now.
