The Central Collegiate Hockey Association is a NCAA Men's Division I Ice Hockey college athletic conference that operates mostly in Michigan and Ohio, although it also has members in Alaska and Indiana. It participates in the NCAA's Division I as a hockey-only conference. It holds its championship tournament at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, usually in the second week of March. The CCHA has no women's division.
Due to the addition of hockey to the Big Ten Conference and the formation of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference, the CCHA will disband at the end of the 2012–13 season.
