AHIHA - Stan Mikita Hockey School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. GOALS BEYOND HOCKEY The American Hearing Impaired Hockey Association instills confidence and self-esteem in deaf and hard of hearing athletes, while building life skills through the game of hockey. AHIHA is supported entirely by contributions from individuals, corporations and organizations. We believe very strongly that our program should impose as little financial burden as possible to those we serve. There are no dues-paying members of the organization and athletes who participate in the annual hockey camp are not assessed a fee for attending. AHIHA operates with an all volunteer staff, many of which return year after year.
