2010 NCRHA B Division Collegiate Roller Hockey National Championships

The 2010 NCRHA B Division Collegiate Roller Hockey National Championships involved 12 schools playing in a round robin followed by a single elimination tournament to determine the national champion of NCRHA B Division college roller hockey. The tournament began on April 8, 2010 and ended with the national championship game on April 11.

Tournament procedure

A total of 12 teams were selected for the tournament. Six teams earned automatic bids by winning their regional tournaments. The automatic bid of the Southeastern Collegiate Roller Hockey League, which did not have a regional tournament, went to its regular season champion Central Florida. Five teams were granted at-large bids, which were extended by the NCRHA Selection Committee. One team declined their bid, while one team accepted an alternate bid.

All 12 teams were seeded 1 to 12 and broken into three pools, each with four teams. Teams in Pool A were ranked 1, 6, 7, and 12, teams in Pool B were ranked 2, 5, 8, and 11, and teams in Pool C were ranked 3, 4, 9, and 10. Each team played every team in their Pool once for ranking in the single elimination knockout bracket.

Qualifying teams

The at-large and alternate bids were announced on March 8, 2010, while the Pools in the tournament were announced on March 25, 2010. The Eastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (ECRHA) had three teams receive a berth in the tournament, Great Plains Collegiate Inline Hockey League (GPCIHL), Midwest Collegiate Roller Hockey League (MCRHL), and Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League (WCRHL) each had two teams receive berths, Rocky Mountain Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (RMCRHA), Southeastern Collegiate Roller Hockey League (SECRHL), and Southwest Collegiate Hockey League (SCHL) had one berth each.

  • points earned in games involving only tied teams
  • goal difference in games involving only tied teams
