World Roller Hockey League (WRHL) was a professional inline hockey league. It lasted only one season.
The WRHL was the creation of promoter David McLane. WRHL games were played with a ball instead of a puck on an outdoor rink with a SportCourt surface on the beach at Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida . Former NHLers such as Ron Duguay and Pierre Larouche played in the league. The season lasted slightly less than two months in the early summer of 1993. Games were taped during the short season and aired on ESPN. They were later aired in Canada on TSN.
