Merger Announced
For Immediate Release
The Southeastern Collegiate Roller Hockey
Association and the Atlantic Coast Collegiate Roller Hockey Association
are excited to make the announcement of their merger following the
conclusion of 2004-2005 season.
The
announcement comes following months of negotiations and restructuring
of the two organizations that will combine to form the 2nd largest
league under the NCRHA umbrella. The opportunity to expand the
playing field from two relatively small leagues to one united league is
an exciting step not only for the teams but also for the sport of
College Roller Hockey on the whole.
The
league will rename itself the Southeastern Collegiate Roller Hockey
League and will cover hockey in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee with future expansions of
Alabama and Mississippi still possible. Current league directors
Ed Luther (SCRHA) and JR Shortall (ACRHA) will continue to work for the
new organization as Director and Commissioner respectively.
More details will be available following the 2005 NCRHA Nationals Championships in Denver, CO April 13-17.
