Welcome to the Manhattan Roller Hockey League website. The league is comprised primarily of teams sponsored by Manhattan professional firms and establishments. Our Fall 2009 season is scheduled to start with preseason scrimmage games in late August and then continue through a ten game regular season and playoffs until late December. Our Spring season championship playoffs were won by the Professor Thom’s team of the league’s Chelsea Division in the West Side Conference. You can see pictures and video from the Championship Final, and other games, on our Neptune Media page: www.mrhl.neptune.com
If you are interested in playing in our July and August games you should check out the Summer 2009 Tournament Games website: www.mrhlsummer.com
You can visit our "Schedule" page for a list of upcoming Fall season games (once it has been completed in mid-August) and for scores, and sometimes pictures, from past contests. Our regular Fall season games will be played on Saturdays at 10:00AM, 11:00AM and noon and on Sundays from 10:00AM until 5:00PM at the Paul McDermott rink in the Stanley Isaacs Playground at 96th Street and First Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Our Fall season playoff games will be played on Saturdays and Sundays in December.
We have formed a team of the league's elite players, called the City Slickers, to play in upcoming NARCh tournament games. We would welcome other USA Hockey InLine leagues to our rink for tournament play and would gladly consider invitations to tournaments in the Metro New York or Tri-State areas.
Our inaugural season Summer 2007 championship games were played with a SportsNet NY crew filming the contest and interviewing the league's players and officials for a SNY series called "Street Games". You can watch two clips from this show by selecting "Episode 4 - October 4, 2007" at this link: http://www.sny.tv/schedule/streetgames.jsp We no longer use a hockey ball for our games as shown in the clips. We currently use a ProPuck now that our rink has been coated with a StreetIce paint surface.
Please email the MRHL at mark.barbour@manhattanrollerhockeyleague.com if you have a team interested in joining the league for an upcoming season or if you are an individual player 18 years of age or older who would like to be added to a free agents list our team captains use when they need to bolster their rosters. Please provide all contact information and any notes about your skill level and playing experience you would want listed on your entry on the free agents list.
