The roots of the Mid Atlantic Roller Hockey Association can be traced back to the spring of 2005. Then North Pittsburgh Hockey League members the McHenry Massive (now the Cumberland Raiders) began to set up a tournament to be held in May of 2005. The use of the internet brought in some high quality teams, but a rescheduling forced the tournament to be moved to Pittsburgh and hosted by the SteelHawks. Each team brought in a wealth of experience and also knowledge of other teams in their specific regions. Through the recruitment of teams by each new member, the association grew. The first ranked tournament took place in December 2005 at the Holiday Shootout Classic in Pittsburgh.

Vision

The MARHA is not existant to make a profit, but rather to grow and change the sport of inline hockey. It is the goal of the association to gain as many member teams as possible in order to stage one of the greatest championships in sports. The model behind this is the "March Madness" of NCAA basketball. As more teams enter the association, the top teams in each region will be selected to regionals (including affiliate league winners for automatic bids). The regionals winners will move on to the championship. The lofty goal of attaining enough teams to hold such a tournament is what drives the association. Additionally, we strive to host high quality tournaments that are competitive yet the most affordable around. We do this because we are able to advertise tournaments online or by word of mouth, and do not pay any staff to help set up the tournaments. As the MARHA grows, we hope to one day be able to include all teams in the Middle Atlantic Region, and extend to the entire eastern U.S. and Canada.
