The Professional Hockey Players Association is the representative body for all professional hockey players within the American Hockey League (AHL) and ECHL, respectively. As the only minor league Players Association within a major league sport, the PHPA is one of the largest and oldest Players Associations within the professional sports industry, boasting approximately 1,400 Members situated over 54 teams throughout North America. While the Association has many functions, the primary function of the PHPA is to negotiate Player benefits by way of a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). These benefits include: health and welfare benefits, training camp allowances, travel and trade relocation expenses, daily per diem, housing allowances, licensing rights, revenue-sharing, and Membership Assistance Programs. With salaries of PHPA Members, to a great extent being pre-determined by their previous play, the PHPA is focused on enhancing their quality of life while they pursue their dream. As such, the Associations mission statement captures this characteristic.
