ACHA Selects Team To Showcase the Best in Division II An Opportunity of a Lifetime for the Best in College Hockey The ACHA dominates the collegiate hockey market by providing the largest number of teams that players can choose to play for in over 30 states. Not one of the other leagues in North America can offer as many options in so many different parts of the country. This is the fundamental reason why the ACHA is such an attractive option for competitive hockey players. As we continue to develop a strong reputation for housing competitive hockey in the United States, we are now receiving invitations from teams in other hockey markets worldwide looking for the chance to compete against our finest. This naturally creates an opportunity for our player membership to rise to the occasion and be the best not only domestically, but to showcase their talents on the international stage. Our staff operates on a totally volunteer basis committing their time and energy to each and every player who can learn the benefits of hard work, fairness and team play in a competitive environment, while exposing our players to different world cultures. In the winter of 2007, the American Collegiate Hockey Association will assemble the first ever Division 2 Select Team, which will be comprised of players from both the United States and Canada and will be selected from the over 145 colleges and universities that are members of the Division 2 community. From December 27, 2007 to January 4, 2008 this team will participate in four games against squads from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic in front of sell out crowds of 3000-5000 fans at each venue. This experience will be the opportunity of a lifetime for the players chosen to represent the Select Team and will ultimately provide our players with an environment in which they can become better students, better athletes, and ultimately better people. |
