Don't you want to be asking what is AAA?

I could be an idiot though.
Stay Classy, Minnesota.

"They" are USA Hockey, Tier I.

If you live in Minnesota and are confused, it is probably because "AAA" is used as an umbrella term for club hockey.

I think most of what passes for AAA is unsanctioned.
Be kind. Rewind.

AAA is the American Automobile Association. If you have their sevice they will help you out with any roadside emergencies.
The extra "e" in "developement" is for EXCELLENT!

Well if the question is "what is AAA?", then it is totally different...

AAA is Anti Aircraft Artillery. It is a ground to air ordinance that is part of a nation's strategic air defense.

Hope I have been helpful.

That is kind of what I thought...

What I am hearing is that there is no real AAA organization...right? If there is, what is the address & phone number? No reason to know really, just always wondered. I hear folks talking about playing AAA and wondered what it is. My kid played on the MN Select one time, has a jersey with AAA on it and I don't know what it means.

AAA or Tier I is USA Hockey classification. Each state/district follows general USA Hockey rules and guidelines and also its own bylaws. "Full time" or winter Youth hockey organizations generally have to file for AAA charter each year to their local state governing body like WAHA in WI or AHAI in IL. If you are looking for more info on AAA call USA Hockey or go to their website and download the Annual Guide, it has everything about all the levels etc.
MN does not follow USA Hockey rules like age classification so don't be surprised if you see some things that are different.

AAA is a very small bra size, or a small battery :shock:

Finally, an accurate description! :D

Good news, the bra size can be fixed for roughly 5K under what a season of AAA hockey costs. It's all about priorities! :lol:
