ECRHA Announces Kickoff Classic

The Eastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association(SM) is proud to announce the ECRHA(SM) Columbus Day Kickoff Classic, the first event of the 2003-2004 ECRHA season. The Kickoff Classic will take place October 10-12, 2003 at the Sportsplex in Feasterville, Pennsylvania, site of the 2003 Collegiate Roller Hockey League National Championship Tournament. Hosting over sixty action-packed games on three rinks, the Kickoff Classic will feature all teams of the ECRHA with guest teams from the Philadelphia Collegiate Roller Hockey League (PCRHL) and the Atlantic Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (ACRHA). The event will also be open to other interested collegiate teams. Whether you are interested as a team or as a sponsor, please contact ECRHA Commissioner Mike Burke at [email protected] for details on participating in the event. This year?s Columbus Day Kickoff will follow in the steps of last year?s extremely successful Long Island Pre-Season Jamboree, attended by forty college teams and over one thousand fans, serving as a community fundraiser. Last year, participants and attendees raised one ton of non-perishable pet food for Little Shelter, a local no-kill animal center. This year?s recipient organization will be announced shortly. Aside from the action-packed college roller hockey games, the Kickoff Classic will also showcase displays and products from ECRHA sponsors and hockey industry vendors such as ConcretePond.com, Rink Rat Wheels, as well as live music from local talent. The ECRHA Selects will also appear in a featured competition against a guest team and roller hockey ?greats? will join us for Hockey College(SM) (ECRHA?s free clinic for community youth). Don?t forget to get your fans and mascots ready for the ECRHA Extreme Fan Contest with great prizes and giveaways! Keep your eyes open for more additions to the Kickoff Classic as we get closer to the drop of the puck. Admission is free with contribution to the community fundraiser. This is one event you won?t want to miss.
