Lots of Hockey Going On This Weekend!

Five NCRHA events from San Jose, CA to Lemoyne, PA are going on this weekend, including some great matchups, heated rivalries starting to sizzle after a quiet summer. 

 

Going from East to West, ECRHA kicks off with their first regular season event (Columbus Day Kickoff last weekend was pre-season) in Lemoyne, PA. One of ECRHA's lightest schedules, this event features Division I, II and B Division teams, including Towson, Penn State, West Point, Temple and Buffalo.

 

The SECRHL kicks off in Snellville, GA as they have for several years.  Two rinks will be in action starting at 10am on Saturday and concluding at 3pm on Sunday.  George Mason, Bethel, NC State, Central Florida, Coastal Carolina and Florida Gulf Coast will all be in action.  The talk is out there whether Coastal Carolina can compete with the rest of the Division I teams, and Florida Gulf Coast, quickly moving up from Division II, looks to make a name for itself.

 

MCRHL starts out at the Megaplex in Homer Glen, IL - site of last week's Illini Invitational hosted by the GPCIHL.  The MCRHL event will feature Division II and JC Division teams: Cincinnati, Central Michigan, Depaul, Miami, Michigan Tech, Northern Illinois, Purdue, Wayne State, Schoolcraft, Western Michigan.

 

GPCIHL starts next weekend, October 22-23, 2011 in Ballwin and Wright City, MO.

SCHL will begin play on October 22-23, 2011, with all Division I teams participating.

RMCRHA kicks off their regular season at Rocky Mountain Roller in Lakewood, CO.  This Saturday late-afternoon/evening event features all RMCRHA teams.  The RMCRHA hosted their annual pre-season event on October 1st and 2nd, with Colorado State downing Colorado 4-1 for the championship and Metro State B defeating Colorado State B 8-7 for the B Division title.  Colorado State will meet Colorado this weekend, as will Metro State B and Colorado State B.

 

WCRHL kicks off at the Silver Creek Sportsplex in San Jose, CA as they have since 2004.  All WCRHL teams will be in attendance.  2 Mission Hockey College sessions will be offered at 2pm and 2:30pm on Saturday.  These sessions are full.  Also a collegiate roller hockey alumni game will be taking place at 6pm, with spots still available for walk-ins.  All 6 Division I teams will start play at 1pm, with newcomer University of Arizona seeing what they have against the perennial Division I contenders.  At 8pm, the rematch of the Division I National Championship Game from 2011 will take place, with Cal Poly SLO facing off against National Champion Long Beach State.
