The College Hockey Association (CHA) is a collegiate club ice hockey league that comprises smaller colleges and universities and community colleges in Western Pennsylvania and Western New York. Every player in the CHA maintains the academic standards of at least the ACHA D-III level. However, membership into the ACHA is optional for CHA members. The league is operated and run by College Hockey East, and is most commonly known as the third tier of the Open League.
