The ACHA currently boasts five divisions (Men's Division 1, 2, and 3; Women's Division 1 and 2) with over 420 teams from across the nation representing 49 different states, all but Hawaii.

The function of the ACHA is to support quality, unity and regulation of intercollegiate hockey programs in the United States. In order to do this, the ACHA has developed Organizational By-Laws and a Policies and Procedures Manual to provide the policy foundation for the organization as it works to fulfill its purpose.

Wings West, which is located on Sports Drive just off I-94 and 9th Street, is also home to Old Burdick's Wings West.
