August 2002 ECRHA Newsletter
The ECRHA announces it has joined ranks with USA Hockey InLine, as a Member Organization of the Collegiate Roller Hockey League (CRHL) for the upcoming 2002-2003 season. ECRHA President Rebecca Breitel has this to say about the relationship: "The agreement with USA Hockey InLine is very exciting for all of us and a step in a positive direction. We are striving for unity, shared resources, and the valuable benefits that come not only to ECRHA, CRHL and USAHIL, but also to the entire roller hockey community. Through CRHL, we also have an ongoing relationship with NARCh as well as we continue to build bridges with USARS and AAU. The future for college roller hockey is very exciting."

ECRHA Message Board Come visit the ECRHA Message Board at http://www.ecrha.net. With school beginning shortly, the board is picking up again. If you are a current member of the league, a captain, coach, or authorized representative of your club, you may access a private message board not visible to the general public. The aforementioned persons can read the MB, but only ACC Reps can post responses. To be granted access to this board, you should send an email to [email protected] , state your name, club affiliation, and interest in access. This special ACC Message Board, along with the ECRHA Newsletter, is the lifeline of our communications; as we are no longer using mass email to contact the ACC about current events.
ECRHA Free College Clinics Attend Hockey College; an ECRHA free clinic series coming this Fall to an ECRHA event near you. For ages 8 - 18. Information to be posted on our website shortly.
The ECRHA Website has gotten a new make over! New information is being added every week as we get closer to the start of the season. We are also still looking for pictures.
