ECRHA AWARDS
The ECRHA recognizes accomplishments in Community Service, sportsmanlike conduct, and dedication to the program. Last years recipients of awards included Rochester Institute of Technology and James Madison University. If your team or players are involved in community service, we want to hear about it! The ECRHA President's Award is still up for grabs as well. The first recipients of the President's Award were Michael Burke and Chris Rabatin. Although both recipients are staff members, anyone who demonstrates and excessive commitment to the league is eligible. If you would like to nominate someone or a team, please drop me an email at [email protected].

ECRHA TO SEND SELECTS TO NARCh
The ECRHA Quest Selects will be competing in DI at NARCh Winternationals in Las Vegas this coming January. The Quest Selects will be headed by Coach Kevin Murphy of Penn State Altoona, assistant Coach ECRHA Head of Officials Chris Rabatin, and accompanied by the ECRHA President, Commissioner, and team trainer out to Nevada in January. Come join us! While the roster has currently not been released, you can expect to see top talent from the Eastern college teams of the CRHL. The ECRHA Selects players will also be available to discuss their college roller hockey programs and educate the public about CRHL and ECRHA. ECRHA is seeking to raise $3000 in funding for this venture and humbly requests that if anyone would like to make a contribution, please send donations to ECRHA even if only a few dollars. We are also looking for sponsorship relationship. If you are interested in assisting the team, please contact the ECRHA President Rebecca Breitel 516-238-4040. Any support of the college program is appreciated.
NARCh will also be host to a CRHL Elite Tournament Series at Winternationals. CRHL will qualify 16 member college teams who will compete in the college Division. For more on this, please visit www.crhl.net, which has recently undergone a great makeover.
