TORHS NICC (National Inline Conference Championships)

 The NICC will have six (6) conferences.  The NICC is structured similar to the NCAA.  The standings will be the results from teams competing at the TORHS regional events.  The NICC will assist in proper seeding for the National Championships, and give teams and players goals and achievements to strive for within their proper level of competition.  

Stats will be published on the website throughout the season. 

Points will also be accumulated at the Winter Cup Finals.

Points also accumulate from ANY Regional a team competes in regardless of the Conference.
(i.e. a MAC Conference team from Michigan that competes in a Texas (SBC) Regional will accumulate points for the MAC Conference not the SBC.-every game you play in truly matters!!)

Awards for the Season Conference Winners
Opening Ceremonies at the TORHS Nationals

At the TORHS Nationals, in each conference, the season winner will receive team awards for each division.  
The conference champions in each conference, in each age division (Atom through Midget) will play against the other Regional Conference Champions for the NICC National Inline Conference Championship title, the conference winners will compete in the NICC division for free.

Playing in the NICC provides every athlete, from six regions, with an opportunity to represent their conference in a national championship just like college athletes do across America .
Not only will the winners of each division of each conference play for the NICC title, they can play at the TORHS America Nationals in one action-packed trip.  
Division winners in every conference, Atom through Midget, will receive custom team jerseys for the NICC representing their conference.
 
With the NICC every game matters!
