History
The Independent Rankings Committee was formed on October 1, 2006 after the National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association made the decision to stop producing weekly national rankings. The contributors of the poll were hidden because of the intense criticism they would receive from perceived biased towards their own regions.
On February 18, 2008, the committee started experimenting with a new rankings equation that he planned to release at the conclusion of the annual national tournament. The new rankings were released on June 16, 2008 and applied to the rankings dating back to its creation four month earlier.
Lindenwood University, Neumann College and St. Charles Community College became the first teams ranked during the first pole and have spent the most time at the top of their respective divisions. Each team has fallen from the top spot at least once, only to reclaim the position at a later date.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
—Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Prof. Norman (Frank Reicher)
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
