NCAA coaches across all divisions are meeting in Florida this week at the annual American Hockey Coaches Association convention. The official meetings wrapped up this afternoon (Tuesday).

One of the most significant parts of the three-day conference was a meeting between NCAA coaches and NCAA president Charlie Baker. It's believed to be the first time that a sitting NCAA president met with coaches (virtual or in-person) as part of the convention. Baker met with the coaches for two hours on Monday as part of a panel with Penn State men's head coach Guy Gadowsky, Northeastern AD Jim Madigan, Dartmouth women's head coach Maura Crowell, and NCHC commissioner Heather Weems.

This is a non-rule change year, which means there wasn't significant discussion of on-ice issues. However, there were several high-level discussions on off-ice issues.
