Your Home for Adult Hockey in the Valley


All CAHL Scottsdale leagues and programs are played under the auspices of USA Hockey and all events are played at the Ice Den Scottsdale. Located on Bell Road just east of the 101 Freeway, the Ice Den Scottsdale is a 150,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art ice sports center and the official practice facility of the NHL's Arizona Coyotes Hockey Club.  The Ice Den Scottsdale is also home to a Mountainside Fitness Platinum, Coyotes Ice Sports Prop Shop, the Chilly Bean Café and 18° Bar & Grill.

Through regular captain and committee meetings, the league strives to provide a structure that’s conducive to fair and safe play. Each year, league staff incorporates new rules and procedures that have been adopted by the league and incorporates them into the annual CAHL Player Handbook In addition, divisional parity is also a high priority for the CAHL.

While the league understands the desire for teams to form based on friendships and convenience, it also has a responsibility to make the games competitive. As a result, the CAHL reserves the right to move players or whole teams into more appropriate skill levels if necessary.
