AHIHA -- Hockey
with higher goals
The American
Hearing Impaired Hockey Association (AHIHA) is a non-profit organization
whose goal is to instill confidence and self esteem in deaf and
hard of hearing individuals. This is accomplished primarily through
their participation in an annual hockey clinic, known as the Stan
Mikita Hockey School for the Hearing Impaired. The school teaches
deaf and hard of hearing young people how to gain confidence and
build life skills through hockey. In addition, AHIHA helps hockey
students obtain hearing aids and speech, auditory and language therapy.
