In founding the CHF, Purowitz started, "we actively designed and built it fit for purpose to offer college student-athletes an alternative option to participate in a better club hockey experience". The CHF reason for being is very simple - we love the game of hockey and desire to enable the best club hockey experience for collegiate student-athletes in the United States. Period. We recognize that non-varsity hockey is played for the love of the game and the continuation of life lessons that can be leveraged as players continue to mature throughout their lives. It is our job and mandate to enable an amazing experience for everyone fortunate enough to play.
