Center Ice Fund


The Coyotes Amateur Hockey Association Chandler is pleased to announce the launch of the Center Ice Fund for the 2024 - 2025 season.

The Center Ice Fund was created to align qualified Coyotes Amateur Hockey Association Chandler participants with financial aid and other resources to eliminate barriers to participation and encourage personal development through competition, teamwork and athletic achievement.

CAHA Chandler has remained a leader in the sport of hockey in the state of Arizona. With the Coyotes Development Program and the Arizona Bobcats, CAHA Chandler now encompass 12  competitive traveling teams and nearly 24 house developmental teams. While we are very proud of the association’s growth and our competitive standing on a regional and national level, we also recognize that maintaining a program of this caliber requires significant financial commitment from our participants and their families.

The Center Ice Fund was conceived to ease this burden and remove financial barriers to participation. Any currently registered CAHA Chandler player is eligible to apply for financial assistance. 

Applications will be accepted beginning May 25th, 2024 and must be submitted no later than June 22nd, 2024. Applications and program details can be found on  www.azbobcats.org website.

The Center Ice Fund is 100% supported by private donations. Individuals or businesses interested in contributing to the Center Ice Fund can email us at centericefund@coyotesice.com for more details and information as to how to get involved. All donations made through the Center Ice Fund are tax deductible and tax donation acknowledgement will be given upon receipt.

As always, thank you for your continued support of CAHA Chandler and youth hockey in Arizona!


The Coyotes Amateur Hockey Association Chandler's Center Ice Fund has been established to provide financial aid to qualified families. When funds are available, 100% of the donations will be used to help offset player hard costs. Awarded Funds will be based on financial need, parent/player involvement and volunteer efforts.
