Edwards, Coggin Hired to National Positions

The NCRHA is proud to announce the hiring of Brennan Edwards (Torrance, CA) as Executive Director and Rob Coggin (Colorado Springs, CO) as Referee-In-Chief.

Edwards' hiring comes after the departure of Ed Luther (Orlando, FL), who served as NCRHA Executive Director for the 2003-2004 season. Edwards is the Director of the Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League (WCRHL), one of the largest of the eight Member Organizations of the NCRHA. He has also served as a member of the NCRHA Board of Directors. "Promoting from within allows Brennan to hit the ground running," said Mike Burke, NCRHA Director of League Operations. "We expect that Brennan's drive and passion for the sport will help NCRHA advance rapidly in the coming years." Edwards can be contacted at [email protected].

Coggin has served most recently as a Coordinator for USA Hockey InLine's officiating program. He also was a member of the disciplinary committee for the 2004 Collegiate Roller Hockey National Championships in Anaheim, CA. In addition to his experience as an administrator, Coggin has been a USA Hockey Official since 1989, advancing as high as the North American Hockey League (NAHL). He also has experience with nearly every major roller hockey tournament series. "Rob brings us someone who is not only an excellent administrator, but a knowledgeable and experienced official. He has excellent plans for helping develop our officiating program to ensure consistency nationwide," said Burke. Coggin can be contacted directly at [email protected].
