Inline Hockey Associations in the U.S.

[Alexander]

Good day inliners. Say, just curious, what are some of the biggest inline hockey associations in the U.S. in terms of number of registered players (youth and adult).

Hey Marty,

USA Hockey probably has the largest number of registered players, for both ice and inline, in the nation.

Their inline site is here:

Thanks CS. Perhaps I should have used the term league rather than association.

For example, Edmonton Inline (Edmonton, Alberta) claims to be the largest league in North American with 1800 players.

I suspect there must several leagues in the U.S. that are bigger than this?

if it claims to be the largest "league" then it's making a false claim. edmonton inline appears from their website to be an association of teams and league in different age groups, not one single league... and i'm pretty sure that at least one if not all of usa inline/usars/aau has 1,800 members...

for one league to have 1,800 players it would have to consist of 150 teams with 12 players on each team... that's a pretty huge league... Next year PIHA could have more than 60 teams if you include pro and minor, which would put it at about 900 players if every team were to have 15 players, which is probably a stretch...

Thanks Snake.

Yea, if you go to http://www.canadainline.com/english.asp

you will see under "Letter from Edmonton Inline" the following:

"... Edmonton Inline, the largest inline league in North America with 1800 players."
