East Coast Collegiate Hockey Association

The East Coast Collegiate Hockey Association (ECCHA) is an ACHA college ice hockey conference in the Southeast region of the United States. 
The ECCHA was created in August of 2001 as Blue Ridge Hockey Conference or BRHC by eight collegiate hockey programs in Virginia and North Carolina. The BRHC has advanced four of its members to the ACHA National Tournament since 2003. 
As of the summer of 2017, the BRHC was restructured to form the East Coast Collegiate Hockey Association with the intent to improve the quality of its brand of ACHA Division III hockey in the mid-Atlantic and Southern region.
