THE GCHSCHL TURNS 10 YEARS OLD
The Greater Columbus High School Club Hockey League (GCHSCHL) enters its 10th season of providing a high school hockey outlet for student/athletes in central Ohio. Established in 1998, the league has continually gone through changes as ice hockey has developed in the greater Columbus area. The GCHSCHL is an inclusive organization that provides players not attending a school with a sanctioned Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) hockey team an opportunity to compete at the competitive high school hockey level. The goal of the league is to provide as many qualified high school-aged players as possible an opportunity to play high school hockey. Please take a look around the new site and check back often as this site will evolve (much like the GCHSCHL itself) as your number one source for high school hockey in Columbus Ohio.
