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.
