NCRHA
NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ROLLER HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
With over 175 teams and 2,000 players nationwide, the National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (NCRHA) is the governing body of collegiate roller hockey in the United States.
A Brief History
Collegiate roller hockey has been in existence since 1994, when several regional organizations, typically run by a few clubs, were participating. From 1995 to 1998, these regional organizations came together under various sanction banners, hosting a College Roller Hockey National Championship.
In 1998, 5 such organizations came together to form the Collegiate Roller Hockey League (CRHL). From 1998 to 2003, the CRHL was the national governing body of collegiate roller hockey, hosting the 1st official national championship tournament in Chicago, IL in April 1999.
On August 1, 2003 the Atlantic Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (ACRHA), Eastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (ECRHA), Southwest Collegiate Hockey League (SCHL), Southeast Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (SCRHA) and Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League (WCRHL) parted from their former national governing body, the Collegiate Roller Hockey League (CRHL), and announced the creation of the National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (NCRHA). By September 1, 2003 the Midwest Collegiate Roller Hockey League (MCRHL) and newly-formed Rocky Mountain Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (RMCRHA) had joined as Member Organizations of the NCRHA, bringing the total to seven. In March 2005, the ACRHA and SCRHA merged to form a new organization, the Southeastern Collegiate Roller Hockey League (SECRHL).
The NCRHA represents the next major step in the pursuit of the original CRHL goals and visions. The policies by which the NCRHA will be governed are based upon the goal of a nationally recognized and regionally organized collegiate roller hockey structure and the best interests of the participants of collegiate roller hockey.
