New Jersey NARCh Champions confirm for the NARCh European Championships

The ISCA Grizzles will make the trip from New Jersey to compete in the NARCh European Championships, The Grizzlies have won many events in the past such as the NARCh Finals and 3 NARCh Winter nationals titles in 6 hours, check it out.

The NJ ISCA Grizzlies are a Professional Roller Hockey organization founded by the Inline Skating Club of America in Wallington, New Jersey. The NJ ISCA Grizzlies have been involved in the world of roller hockey since 1995 and have made the sport of roller hockey enormous in the State of New Jersey.

The Grizzlies which began as a travel roller hockey team and participating in local regional events have grown to be competitors in the largest roller hockey tournaments in the world. They have achieved numerous feats as an organization, some as glorious as a roller Hockey National Championship In 2000, the ISCA Grizzlies captured their first Bronze Medal in the 16&U Division AIRHS National Tournament held in Estero, Florida. One year later the 10&u Grizzlies would become Bronze Medallists in the USARS National Championships with a follow up in 2002 capturing the 14&u USARS Ball National Championship; both events were held in Rochester, New York.

The ISCA Grizzlies then began to gain notoriety by capturing the Silver Medal in the 16&u Division at the AAU Junior Olympic Games held in Detroit, Michigan. Again, only a year later, they would gain national recognition by winning 3 National Championships in one day. The ISCA Grizzlies would win the 16&u, 18&u and 21u NARCh Winternational Event within a 6 hour span in Las Vegas Nevada. A few months later, in the summer of 2004, they would once again return to glory, by capturing a Silver Medal in the 16&u Division and a Bronze Medal in the 21&U Division at the NARCh Nationals in Cincinnati, Ohio.

They will soon compete in NARCh again this summer in 2006 and now have propelled themselves to a level that some thought would never be accomplished; a Professional Roller Hockey Franchise as well as a Minor League Franchise. The League that they will enter is called the Professional Inline Hockey Association (PIHA) and is based out of South Jersey. The league features teams from all over the East Coast as well as other areas as well.



The grizzlies are looking forward to making this trip to Europe and are hoping to showcase some of their talent and make some friends in the process.
