The NCRHA is a collection of eight regional roller hockey leagues and associations covering the majority of the United States. With over 150 teams and 2000 players, the NCRHA is a substantial share of the roller hockey market. The NCRHA is a partner with USA Hockey Inline and has relationships with the North American Roller Hockey Championships (NARCh), the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), the National Intramural-Recreation Sports Association (NIRSA), and several high school and professional roller hockey leagues and associations. Roller hockey, also called inline hockey, is one of the fastest growing sports in the nation. Collegiate roller hockey is played in full-size indoor hockey facilities on a plastic surface. Roller hockey uses a puck, is non-check, has neither offsides nor icing, and is played four-on-four, plus goaltenders. As a result, the game is wide-open, played with finesse, and is extremely exciting to watch.
