Attention Team Representatives:

Greetings from the NCRHA! 

All teams are required to complete the Divisional Application Form (previously known as Team Commitment Form) for the 2012-2013 season. This form is due by June 1, 2012, much earlier than the October deadline in years past.  This early due date will enable your team and your Member Organization staff to better plan for the upcoming 2012-2013 season.  Please read page 1 which details the process and fill out pages 2 and 3 in their entirety. 

The time has come for all players, coaches, fans, or other party, to submit their great ideas!  This is the time for you to propose changes to Playing Rules, League Operations, Uniform Requirements, and more!

The NCRHA Documents that are up for revision include the NCRHA Rulebook, NCRHA League Operations Manual, and NCRHA Bylaws.  All three documents are posted on www.NCRHA.org under Registration, Documents.

Bethel?s narrow margin of victories was just enough to squeeze past multiple teams in the single-elimination brackets, and the team proved that it is not the score that matters, it is the win itself, whatever the score.  Bethel?s first elimination game was against UMSL, who they defeated 2-1 in overtime.  Both teams traded goals in the 1st period, followed by 2 scoreless periods. Just under 6 minutes into the overtime, Bethel?s Josh Foote scored to give Bethel the 2-1 victory, advancing to the Elite Eight.

The NCRHA is proud to announce the 2012 "Outstanding Contribution to Collegiate Roller Hockey" Award Winners!  The NCRHA is proud to present this special award honoring  a player, coach or staff member from each of the NCRHA?s Member Organizations who best exemplify leadership qualities on and off the rink and have made a noteworthy contribution to the advancement of Collegiate Roller Hockey.

For the second consecutive year, Lindenwood University has been eliminated from the tournament earlier than expected.  This year it was UNLV who dashed the hopes of the perennial powerhouse Lindenwood, who had a strong round robin, playing in Pool A and posting a record of 2 wins and 1 tie, and a goal differential of +8.  UNLV went undefeated in Pool C, with a goal differential of +12.

The first ever meeting between Maryville and Northeastern was a game of control and a battle between goaltenders. Northeastern won the opening faceoff only to lose control of the puck in the Maryville zone. Maryville then went on to control and regroup the puck for a good solid 3 minutes in their zone.

Teams from three regions competed, including the ECRHA, MCRHL and GPCIHL.

Lindenwood was the big winner on the weekend in Division I, becoming the only team to walk out of the event without suffering a loss.

The National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association proudly announces the 14th National Collegiate Roller Hockey Championships, to be held April 11-16, 2012 in Salt Lake City, UT. Games will be played at the Utah Olympic Oval, site of the long track speedskating competition during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. The event will bring 58 teams in 4 divisions (Division I, Division II, Junior College Division, and B Division) together to compete for the title of Collegiate Roller Hockey National Champion.

The UNLV Rebels and the Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League (WCRHL) are proud to announce  an inter-regional event in Las Vegas!

The current date is set for Saturday February 4th, 2012 at the recently renovated Las Vegas Roller Hockey Center. Not only is the newly vamped rink located in the heart of Las Vegas (just 15 minutes from any major hotel) but it has added a restaurant area that is great for watching all the action and enjoying a bite to eat. This event is perfect for any out of region team to escape the typical winter weather, play competitive hockey, and appreciate everything Las Vegas has to offer!

Once a week, Commissioner William Bourque and Senior Staff/Marketing Committee member Jesse Creek will bring you a weekly roundtable discussion, focusing mainly on naming players of the week. In addition to players of the week, insights and predictions on weekends will often be included. Hopefully this is a fun thing that everyone enjoys and we can continue to expand it in the future.

Going from East to West, ECRHA kicks off with their first regular season event (Columbus Day Kickoff last weekend was pre-season) in Lemoyne, PA.
