The Collegiate Ice Hockey Association or CIHA was a national organization of non-NCAA, men's college and university level ice hockey programs.[1] The CIHA took over where the National Association of Intercollegiate Hockey left off.[2] The CIHA is now referred to as the National Collegiate Hockey Association. All of the records starting from the NAIH will carry over to the NCHA.
History[edit]
The NAIH was formed as an alternative to the American Collegiate Hockey Association in 2011 with the philosophy that there should be an option for college hockey teams that want a lower cost for membership combined with the highest level of competition possible. In the spring of 2013, the NAIH merged with the USCHA which created the CIHA.
