Letter from the ED
Edition 3 Volume I
The National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (NCRHA), a national governing body for the sport of collegiate roller hockey, is proud to announce two new additions to its cooperative effort. The Great Plains Collegiate Inline Hockey League (GPCIHL) and Rocky Mountain Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (RMCRHA) agreed yesterday to leave the Collegiate Roller Hockey League (CRHL) to join the five other Member Organizations of the NCRHA.
The seven Member Regions of the NCRHA are now the Atlantic Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (ACRHA), Eastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (ECRHA), Great Plains Collegiate Inline Hockey League (GPCIHL), Rocky Mountain Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (RMCRHA), Southwest Collegiate Hockey League (SCHL), Southeast Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (SCRHA), and Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League (WCRHL).
The GPCIHL is the Member Organization for the states of Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas and Missouri and the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (RMCRHA) encompasses Colorado and New Mexico.
League officials for both new Member Organizations stated that it is in the best interest of the sport of collegiate roller hockey that they be united under one organization capable of functioning under one set of rules and regulations and capable of producing a single, unified National Championship Tournament.
Additionally, the NCRHA is currently engaged in preliminary discussions with the Midwest Collegiate Roller Hockey League (MCRHL). The MCRHL is the only remaining organized regional league not yet an official Member Organization of the NCRHA. The MCRHL is the regional governing body for teams in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and western Ohio
