Letter from the ED

The National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (NCRHA) is excited to announce the addition of the Midwest Collegiate Roller Hockey League (MCRHL), solidifying one national organization and ensuring one true national championship in April. This move brings the total number of NCRHA Member Organizations to eight and will aid in the development of national guidelines, by-laws and one set of rules that all collegiate hockey leagues will adhere to. The addition of MCRHL comes at a wonderful time, prior to the beginning of all Member Organizations' seasons and a short time before the announcement of the date and location of the NCRHA 2004 National Championship. The official announcement from MCRHL Director Chad Keuneke came Monday night, five days after the Great Plains Collegiate Inline Hockey League (GPICHL) and the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (RMCRHA) also joined the NCRHA. "The move makes both the MCRHL and NCRHA very happy; more importantly, it will allow teams to vie for one true National Championship," said NCRHA Executive Director Ed Luther. The MCRHL encompasses the states of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and western Ohio.
