Welcome to the Victory Honda AAA Hockey combined Team News page. Here you’ll find all the team news submitted by players, coaches and parents as well as links to sites that might be of interest to all. It will not be listed in order by age or gender but rather by order received, with the newest at the top. Most news older than 1 season will be purged. Team pictures will now be on the respective team info pages unless there’s a trophy involved (or something similar).

CAHA and VICTORY HONDA ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP

The Canton Amateur Hockey Association is proud of its new affiliation with the Victory Honda AAA Hockey Club.  In a stride to become one of the leading associations in player development, this affiliation will strengthen every level of hockey, from our Learn-To-Play program through Midget Major AAA.  With a working relationship between the B/BB house program, the A/AA travel program, and the AAA program, our coaches will become leaders in developing strong student athletes, who love playing the game of hockey. 

While some of the specifics are still being worked out, you can be assured that the top priority of both programs will be the players.  You will start seeing the A/AA teams wearing Victory Honda colors, and these teams will assume the name, Canton Victory Honda.  For now, our Learn-To-Play program will continue to use the resources provided by Tim Horton’s and the Timbits Hockey Program, and all of our B/BB teams will continue to wear the CAHA Wing logo and the red and white colors. 

I'm confident that the transition will be of great benefit for all people involved, and I assure all players, parents, and coaches, that the Board of Directors mission remains the same; to provide for strong player development in a fun & exciting atmosphere.

Craig Manser, President
Canton Amateur Hockey Association
