NARCh Finals 2026 Delivers a Record-Setting Weekend for Women’s Roller Hockey

The 2026 NARCh Finals showcased the continued growth of women’s and girls’ roller hockey, with competitive championship games across every age group and skill level.

This year’s tournament included two new divisions, Girls 11U and Women’s 30+ Novice, helping create what was likely one of the largest women’s divisions in NARCh Finals history. The additional divisions gave more players the opportunity to compete on the national stage and highlighted the expanding depth of the women’s game.

In the NARCh Women’s Pro Division, the Rinkster Factory Team defeated PAMA 3-2 in a thrilling championship game to claim the title and the $5,000 cash prize. The division also welcomed new teams, including the Black Biscuit Bandits and Labeda Freez, adding even more talent and depth to an already competitive field.

NorCal Inline captured the Women’s Gold championship with a tight 2-0 victory over Encore. In the Women’s 30+ Upper Division, Encore defeated last year’s champions, Sammy’s Pals, to take home the title.

The inaugural Women’s 30+ Novice Division was one of the most exciting additions to the weekend. The Trash Pandas earned the championship with a close 1-0 victory over the Lady Roadrunners. The division was incredibly fun to watch, especially with so many hockey moms stepping onto the rink and joining the action.

In the girls’ divisions, PAMA Labeda Golden Champs defeated Rinkster Puck Dynasty 2-0 in a tightly contested Girls 19U final. The Rinkster Girls completed an undefeated 6-0 weekend to win the Girls 13U championship.

The Top Shelf Bulldogs claimed two titles, defeating the SLO Bandits 2-1 in another close Girls 11U championship game and earning the Girls 9U title with a victory over the Rinkster Girls.

From first-time players to elite professionals, the 2026 NARCh Finals demonstrated the strength, competitiveness and continued growth of women’s roller hockey. With new divisions, new teams and close championship games throughout the weekend, the future of the women’s game continues to look bright.
