The American Hearing Impaired Hockey Association provides deaf and hard of hearing hockey players the opportunity to learn about and improve their hockey skills through our program. We offer these hockey players the opportunity to be coached by a coaching staff with college, national and international experience. 

Established in 1973, by Chicago businessman Irv Tiahnybik, in cooperation with NHL Hall of Fame and former Chicago Blackhawk Star Stan Mikita, the program has contributed to the growth and development of deaf and hard of hearing players from all across the country. Tony Granato, former NHL player and now the assistant coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins, has continued the leadership role in the great success the program continues to achieve. Tony, along with a very dedicated staff of volunteer coaches, interpreters, support and medical personnel, serve the needs of the hockey players  in the AHIHA program.
