Our Club - Hinsdale Central Hockey Club
Hinsdale Central Hockey Club is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, independent of the high school. Founded in 1972, the HCHC is parent run, dedicated to player and character development for decades… a long history rich in tradition and reputation.

Our History
The Hinsdale Central Hockey Club was founded in 1972, by newly arrived Hinsdale resident, F. Regis Kenna. Plans were made to form a club organization typical for the period and today, an organization independent of the high school. Coaches were hired to hold tryouts, assess talent and train the athletes. Tryouts were announced and produced a much higher than expected turnout, enough talented players to form both Varsity and JV teams. A parent run organization staffed by independent coaches dedicated to player development came to life.
