2011 NCRHA Division I Collegiate Roller Hockey National Championships

The 2011 NCRHA Division I Collegiate Roller Hockey National Championships involved 24 schools playing in a round robin followed by a single elimination tournament to determine the national champion of NCRHA Division I college roller hockey. The tournament began on April 6, 2011 and ended with the national championship game on April 9.

California State University, Long Beach 49ers, coached by Bill Burrows, won its first national title with a 4–3 victory in the national championship game over California Polytechnic State University Mustangs, coached by Dan Helper.

Procedure

A total of 24 teams were selected for the tournament. Seven teams earned automatic bids by winning their regional tournaments. 17 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 24 teams were seeded 1 to 24 and broken into five pools, with four pools with four teams. Teams in Pool A were ranked 1 to 4, teams in Pool B were ranked 5 to 8, and so on. Each team played every team in their Pool once for ranking in the single elimination knockout bracket. Based on Pool play, teams in Pool A were ranked 1 to 4, teams in Pool B were ranked 5 to 8, and so on.

Qualifying teams

The at-large and alternate bids were announced on March 7, 2011, while the Pools in the tournament were announced on March 10, 2011. The Eastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association (ECRHA) had seven teams receive a berth in the tournament, Midwest Collegiate Roller Hockey League (MCRHL) had five teams receive a berth, Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League (WCRHL) had four teams receive a berth, Great Plains Collegiate Inline Hockey League (GPCIHL) and Southeastern Collegiate Roller Hockey League (SECRHL) had three berths each, and Southwest Collegiate Hockey League (SCHL) had one team receive a berth.
