Division II ECRHA

[RowanPhil]

What schools are playing DII this year? I started the team at Rowan University and after our first year we decided to come into ECRHA DII, so let me know

Question for RowanPhil: I saw on your web site http://www.freewebs.com/rowanrollerhockey/ the following quote: "These tryouts are designed to pick the roster for the ECRHA Division II team and a PCRHL team.".

I'm not familiar with the initials "PCRHL". Care to share?

Thanks.

Where would the teams in the PCRHL fit in (i.e. DIII, B) if they were in the NCRHA?

Steve Inge - Roxbury 8

Below B.

The PCRHL is sort of intended to be a feeder league for the ECRHA.

Would you say that it's almost like intramural?

it depends some schools who are just not competitive/organized for the ecrha are in it, it as well teams who are more like intramural teams, neumann drexel, temple, west chester, ect have 2 or 3 teams made up of the people who are cut or did not tryout of the varsity team. but schools like saint joes lebon valley upenn have teams in it as well who may have tryouts to play on that there team. i also believe there is no 5 year max for the pcrhl.

Any teams looking to get a scrimmage togethr in september with us (Rowan) there is a rink right by our school or we can meet half way somewhere closest

Welcome back to DII Drexel and Neumann.... weak sauce.

It is to be noted that high-caliber talent is not a prerequisite to play Division I; rather, Division I is intended for the most organized and committed member clubs.

I take this to mean that Neumann thinks it is unorganized and not committed to the league. Because I know it's not the matching gloves or pants that are getting in the way....

AJ, Please see PM from me

Why does it matter if Neumann is playing DII again? We actually played a really good second game against them, and even though our team is going to be weaker this year, I am looking forward to playing them again.

Because the divisions are not supposed to be divided based on playing ability. For years teams complained that the divisions were divided the way they were for the wrong reasons, so now the league goes and fixes it, and the teams that it is supposed to be there for are not using it. It's great that you guys played a good game against them last year, but that should have absolutely nothing to do with it.

How small is Neumann? I slightly remember hearing something from Neumann that because they are a small school that being able to field a competitive team in the next few years may be a challenge. That could be a reason why they do not move up.
