History
The ECRHA was founded by Jonathan Huck, Brendan Brennan, Nick Sally, and Ben Picker (who is now general counsel to the NCRHA and ECRHA). The region was first known as the Mid-Atlantic Region (MAR) of the Collegiate Roller Hockey League (CRHL). After the collapse of the CRHL and the creation of the National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (NCRHA), the MAR was renamed and restructured into the Eastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association. The region then merged with the New England Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (NECRHA), thereby significantly increasing the geographic area of the ECRHA. The (NECRHA) was founded in 1999 by University of Rhode Island roller hockey team founder Joseph DesMarais. The (NECRHA) in its initial seasons consisted of 8 teams from Maine to Rhode Island consisting of University of Vermont, University of Rhode Island, University of Connecticut, Central Connecticut State, Boston University, Northeastern University and others. In 2006, teams from Virginia, an area previously within the geographic borders of the ECRHA, moved into the Southeastern Collegiate Roller Hockey League.
