American Hearing Impaired Hockey Association

Founded in 1973. The American Hearing Impaired Hockey Association (AHIHA) is one of the leading sports organizations in the United States serving hearing impaired athletes.  AHIHA's mission is to instill confidence and self esteem in these individuals - many of whom find it difficult to participate in regular athletic programs because of their hearing disability.  

Each summer, AHIHA overcomes this by hosting a unique week-long hockey camp designed especially for these athletes. The Stan Mikita Hockey School for the Hearing Impaired supports 80 athletes of various skill levels and is named after Stan Mikita, one of the the co-founders of AHIHA and a member of the National Hockey League's Hall of Fame.

A not-for-profit organization that is based in Chicago, AHIHA also assists the hearing impaired community in other ways, such as helping players obtain hearing aids and speech, auditory and language therapy. Over the years, AHIHA has made a big difference in many people's lives.
