Please note that any members who attend the Annual Conference from the Canadian Hockey League are eligible to attain CEU’s for their respective associations. (NATA, CATA, AEMA ).

It is always our goal is to have as many Athletic Trainers/Equipment Managers from the Canadian Hockey League as possible attending the PHATS/SPHEM meetings.
Congrats to all the milestone recipients this season!
