Z-RINK FOR SALE
The owner of Z-Rink in Glastonbury Connecticut has just listed the facility with a Realtor. Serious parties may inquire by contacting Robert Gaucher CCIM of O R & L Commercial Real Estate at 860-721-0033. Z-Rink is a GORGEOUS State of the art million-dollar single rink facility with a potential for a number of sports, including ice. We will be sad to see the rink be sold and hope that any new owner will keep this a roller hockey facility. Z-Rink is friend of the ECRHA and MLRH and has a huge potential for continuation of being a premier facility in New England.
ECRHA TO HIT THE INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY EXPO
ECRHA Staff is heading out to Las Vegas to attend the Let's Play Hockey International Expo at the Paris Resort & Casino January 20-22. Anyone who would like the opportunity to meet with the ECRHA President, Commissioner, or Referee In Chief can do so by calling ahead of time to set up a meeting. Inline Hockey Central, the Internet's # 1 Roller Hockey Informational Website, will also be represented at the Expo as will the seller of Z-Rink.
ATTENTION ALUMNI OF THE ECRHA
Please contact the ECRHA if you are an Alumnus. ECRHA is forming an Alumni Society and wants to hear from you. In Addition, we hold an annual Alumni Featured Game and want you to come back and play. Please contact us directly at [email protected] and also sign in to the Alumni Thread on our message board at www.ecrha.net.
CHARITABLE DONATIONS CAN LOWER TAX BILLS
Are you aware of the tax benefits for those who make charitable contributions? For example, an individual with a taxable income of $50,000 donates $2,000 to his or her favorite charitable organization. The tax savings from this generosity will be $540 ($2,000 x the taxpayer's marginal tax rate of 27 percent). You'll want to remember that you may be able to reduce your individual year-end taxes based upon your gifts and contributions to qualified organizations (such as tax-exempt charitable and religious groups). To learn more about how to make a charitable donation, please visit the IRS Digital Daily at www.irs.gov. The ECRHA is a not-for-profit organization that accepts donations for different programs, goals of which include scholarships for roller hockey.
SCHL (Southwest/& Texas Region) is also another qualified college roller hockey organization and seeks immediate donations for a much needed trailer:http://www.schl.org/trailer.asp
ROLL CALL TO ECRHA MEMBERS
2nd Semester fees are due by January 15th. If you are a player in the ECRHA you can be granted reader access to the Active Club Committee message board on our website.

EDUCATION, DEDICATION, MOTIVATION
The ECRHA, a not for profit roller hockey association, prides itself on the education, dedication, and motivation of its members and staff. All players must be students of their learning institution and conform to the high standards set in place by the members themselves. The level of respect for one another, the game in itself, and their University, is unmatched by any other roller hockey organization and is key to the success of the league. Aside from plaques, trophies, and medals for outstanding performances and Divisional Champions, the ECRHA also recognizes the achievements of college roller hockey clubs in the areas of Community Service, motivation, and dedication to their sport.
The ECRHA staff, composed of elected Board Members, presides over the ECRHA, with an active representative from every member club (the ACC). For a list of current ECRHA member universities, email contacts, and Board Members, please visit our website at www.ecrha.net, To learn more about how to be a part of the ECRHA send an email to [email protected] or contact Rebecca Breitel (516) 238-4040 or Mike Burke (516) 322-7111.
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].
