High School Hockey
Columbus Chill Hockey Club
The Columbus Chill Hockey Club (CCHC) is a program for high school aged players. CCHC allows players who want to compete at a high level while still being eligible to participate in their high school hockey season (a.k.a. Pre/Post or Split season hockey).
Players participate in high paced, fun practices with an emphasis on skill development and competition. The program is run by RJ Umberger and Dave Caruso.
Current programs include:
- Spring Development Program: Players practice and play in small area games battling for points in placement in the I270 Cup Tournament at the end of the session.
- Fall Split season before high school hockey begins. Players have off-ice conditioning and on-ice practice sessions in addition to 2-3 tournaments in preparation for tryouts.
