Pond Hockey Showdown
Posted By: Mid-Atlantic
Tuesday, January 03, 2012



 
The third annual New Jersey Pond Hockey Classic, hosted by Rowan University, will take place this Saturday January 7, 2012 at the Navesink Country Club in Middletown, NJ. The game will feature Rowan University Profs and the visiting Temple University Owls. The event is symbolic in that not only is this the third outdoor game after having the first ever one in ACHA history, but that the event will once again serve a cause.  As it has been in the past, all money raised will go to the MS Society.
 
The entry to the game is FREE for the general public and anyone is welcome to come and watch another classic in the making. The weather forecast calls for a mild day in 
the 50's with mostly sunny skies. Because of the warm weather forecast, the game is scheduled to start at 
5:00 PM and will be broadcasted on IYM Radio. Guest attending the game should wear club attire (no jeans) and dress appropriately for the weather as temperatures will fall once the sun goes down.
 
The MACHA and the ACHA, along with Rowan, are working on putting on the best possible game. For
directions you can visit the Navesink Country Club website or by clicking HERE. Hope to see everyone at the pond!

Thursday, September 29, 2011

Over 30 members of the university of Delaware ACHA DI and DII men's hockey teams participated in the 4th annual CureSearch Cancer Walk to benefit Childhood Cancer research this past Saturday, Sept. 24th at the Wilmington Riverfront.
 
UD Hockey walked in support of "Team Brett."  Brett Land, age 2, was diagnosed with Pre-T-Cell Leukemia in December 2010, and since then has undergone chemotherapy, a bone narrow transplant, and full radiation to combat this disease.  Brett is currently in remission from this disease but continues weekly treatments and monitoring.
 
The Land family has a unique connection to UD Hockey as Brett's father, Jason, works as a school teacher alongside Assistant Coach Jesse McNulty at William Penn High School in New Castle, Delaware.
 
CureSearch for Children's Cancer is a national non-profit foundation whose mission is to fund and support children's cancer research and provide information and resources to all those affected by children's cancer.  CureSearch raises funds for promising research conducted at more than 175 hospitals across the nation.  These hospitals participate in National Cancer Institute sponsored clinical trials by the Children's Oncology Group.

ECU Facing Uphill Battle in 2011

Tuesday, August 02, 2011

For the second season in a row, East Carolina will be skating uphill when it takes the ice in 2011-12.

Last season, the Pirates were confronted with a higher caliber of non-varsity hockey after shifting from the Division III Blue Ridge Hockey Conference to the Division II Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Hockey's new South Division where they joined three ranked Southeast Region teams. After going 1-6-1 in division play and falling short of .500 hockey overall, this season's schedule will give ECU even more to chew on.

Mid-Atlantic Interview with League Presidents
Posted By: Mid-Atlantic
Tuesday, July 19, 2011

The Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Hockey Conference (MACHA) which has been around for twelve years went through some recent changes and updates as reported earlier this month; most notably changing of their conference name to Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Hockey to differentiate themselves from another conference with the same acronym. 
 
With the new conference name, the Mid-Atlantic recently had their outgoing President and their new President discuss the changes for the league in an interview with HockeyYall. You can catch the interview right  HERE.
 
 
A New Name and Playoff Format are Adopted
Posted By: Mid-Atlantic
Friday, July 08, 2011

Beginning with the 2011-2012 ice hockey season, the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Hockey Association (MACHA) will be known as Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Hockey, or as The Mid-Atlantic.
 
The league will also adopt a new playoff format for both divisions within the Mid-Atlantic.  The championship series will be known as the Mid-Atlantic MACH V and will feature the top five teams from each division competing intra-divisionally toward two division champions.  Following the ACHA SouthEast Regionals, the Mid-Atlantic will host a championship game between the two division winners at a site that will be determined at a later date.
 
We are confident the name change will clarify any confusion created by two leagues within ACHA D2 ranks with the same acronym, while also allowing our league to retain its own unique identity.  The Mid-Atlantic name continues the original tradition of excellence both on and off the ice.

Vince is very excited to be taking this program into the future and continuing in the program's winning tradition with this team."

Vince has served for the past two seasons on the coaching staff of the Salesianum School for both their in-season and summer program. Vince has also served the University of Delaware community as both a coach and mentor for the Learn to Play Hockey and Cross-Ice youth programs in the Newark community.

The UD ACHA-D2 program will play a 25-game schedule this season, and will play its home games in the University of Delaware's Gold Ice Arena.

Vince graduated from the University of Delaware in 1999 with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science. Vince was also a member of the University of Delaware Division 1 hockey team from 1997 to 1999 as a Defenseman.
