Main article: Inline hockey

Each National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association game is played between two teams and is 36 minutes long. The game is composed of three 12–periods with an intermission of one–minute between periods. At the end of the 36–minute regulation time, the team with the most goals wins the game. If at the end of regulation time, both teams are tied with the same number of goals, the game shall be declared a tie and both teams shall receive credit for a tie, however in the MCRHL there is overtime. If still tied at the end of OT, the game will proceed to a Shootout.

Ties do not occur during tournament format (such as regional and national championship tournaments) where a winner must be declared to advance to the next round of play. In these cases, sudden-death 12–minute four-on-four periods are played until one team scores. The first team to score a goal in the overtime period shall be declared the winner and advance to the next round.

Main article: Inline hockey rink

National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association games are played on a rectangular inline hockey rink with rounded corners surrounded by walls and Plexiglas. As nearly as possible, it measures 80 by 180 feet (24.38 by 54.86 meters) in the NCRHA, with the minimum size of 65 by 145 feet (19.81 by 44.20 meters) and a maximum of 100 by 200 feet (30.48 by 60.96 meters). The center line divides the rink in half, which divides floor into two attacking zones. Near the end of both ends of the rink, there is a thin red goal line spanning the width of the floor, which is used to judge goals.

The National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association Division I originated in 2003 with the creation of the National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association and currently consists of 39 teams. The Lindenwood Lions are the most successful club with seven national championships (six as an NCRHA club, one as a CRHL club). The next most successful club is the Michigan State Spartans with two national championships, but both were while they were a CRHL club and have not won since 2000. The longest streak of winning the national championship in consecutive years is five held by the Lindenwood Lions from 2003–04 to 2007–08.

The current league organization divides the teams into seven member organizations: the Eastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association, Great Plains Collegiate Inline Hockey League, Midwest Collegiate Roller Hockey League, Rocky Mountain Collegiate Roller Hockey Association, Southeastern Collegiate Roller Hockey League, Southwest Collegiate Hockey League and Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League. The current organization has roots in the 2005–06 season when the Atlantic Collegiate Roller Hockey Association and the Southeastern Collegiate Roller Hockey Association merged to form the Southeastern Collegiate Roller Hockey League.
