Playing with classmates for the school colors and mascot is an important part of the hockey experience growing up!

Southern California scholastic hockey got its start right here in Orange County - a tradition that traces it roots back to 1993, the early days of high school roller hockey. In 1995, the first State Cup Championships were conducted by the California Street Hockey Association (CSHA) held on June 10th at the then-Anaheim Pond preceding the professional roller hockey games played by the Anaheim Bullfrogs. By 1996, the high school segment in SoCal was gaining serious traction in this burgeoning sport and serious talks began about state sanctioning of roller hockey with the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF).

Since 1997, the Irvine-based "IHF" (Interscholastic Hockey Federation) has been organizing prep programs for high school roller hockey in and around the Orange County area. By 2008, the IHF had grown to over fifty teams in four different skill divisions, representing thirty area high schools and over 700 student-athletes. IHF participating club schools represent both the public and private sectors from four counties. The IHF League is proud to boast a host of National Varsity and Jr. Varsity Champions at all levels and in every competitive format in the sport. Today, IHF High School Roller Hockey League games are held at three hockey facility partners in and around Orange County including: The Rinks Irvine Inline located in Irvine, CA; and The Rinks (by the Anaheim Ducks) at both Corona Inline and Huntington Beach Inline. 

Student-athletes in the IHF League's  Fall/Winter Season represent themselves and high school roller hockey clubs from Aliso Niguel; Ayala; Beckman; Brea-Olinda; Brethren Christian; Calvary Chapel; Canyon; Capistrano Valley; Chino Hills; Claremont; Corona; Corona del Mar; Dana Hills; Edison; El Dorado; El Modena; El Toro; Fountain Valley; Huntington Beach; La Mirada; Laguna Beach; Laguna Hills; Loara; Los Alamitos; Marina; Mater Dei; Mayfair; Mission Viejo; Newport Harbor; Northwood; Ontario Christian; Pacifica; Peninsula; Rowland; San Clemente; Santa Margarita Catholic; Santiago; Sunny Hills; Temescal; Tesoro; Torrance; Trabuco Hills; Troy; University; Upland; Villa Park; and Woodbridge. 

Roller Hockey is currently a California state-sanctioned CIF Winter Sport in Section 10 San Diego (the San Diego Metropolitan Conference). In fact, San Diego's Metro conference is the only state-sanctioned league in the USA! Roller hockey is not currently sanctioned in other sections in California and operates mostly as a club sport and with varying degrees of recognition from schools and districts. Efforts persist to organize and build the sport through support from the Anaheim Ducks and others to promote alliances across the state and gain recognition. 

Regardless of your pond - frozen or concrete, please help keep our student-athletes on the rinks!
