NIHA-Canada is a registered Non-Profit Society.

Vision and Mission

The philosophy of the NIHA-Canada is based on implementing quality and affordable programming. Direction of the association focuses on the primary participant – the player. It is our mandate to provide programming that is cost efficient and is available to all participants.

It’s our desire to foster the growth in a controlled environment developing programs and partnerships that adhere to our vision and core values. An initial goal of the organization was to provide continuity in playing rules by means of a standardized official rulebook shared by all members.

This is an association that is owned and operated by its members and its direction will truly reflect the desires of that membership. Each full member association holds equal representation in the association.

It will be the goal of the NIHA-Canada to provide partnership within the inline world to further enhance and provide growth to our sport.
