Welcome to Cincinnati Adult Hockey Leagues
Cincinnati Adult Hockey Leagues has 5 levels divided into 14+ sub divisions and conferences of play ability and skill level, with an estimated average of 1,750 players and 75 teams (we had 83 teams last winter). We play games at Northland Ice Center and Sports Plus Cincinnati. From the complete novice to more experienced semi-professional players, we have the division for you! We are proud not only to be the largest league in Ohio, but we are also strive to be friendly and fun-focused.
If you are new to the sport, don’t worry! We have new players join us that have never skated before starting at all ages, yes including those aged 40, 50, 60+ years old as well as those of you 16 years or older who have always wanted to try this sport. Of course we’re welcoming returning players who have been off ice for many years. We often get new players that have just moved to Cincinnati who were either playing rec league already or reminded they still have their equipment when they put it in the moving truck; hey; you’ve found the right place!
Northland Pro Shop will take care of all your equipment needs – current members and staff will be glad to help you out if you need pointers. If you think you are too old, I believe we have a few players in the league currently over 65 years of age. We are co-ed with many women players. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or sign up using our Free Agent Application.

Yes, new players fall on their own their first few times. At CAHL, there’s no fear of embarrassment or criticism. You have protective equipment on, it wont hurt!
Cincinnati Cyclones Special Hockey can also guide you in a direction if you are disabled or special needs. Northland Ice Center can put you in contact with our local sled hockey teams, and other variations of the sport!
