 | The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome the Extreme Roller Hockey League (XRHL) as one of our newest members—bringing a fresh, high-energy sports concept to the region. Founded in February 2026 by Adam Stio, XRHL is a professional roller hockey league launching its pilot season right here in Toledo. With a vision to expand regionally and nationally through franchise opportunities, XRHL is tapping into an untapped niche—delivering hockey excitement during the summer months when traditional ice hockey is off the radar. |
A New Way to Experience Hockey
XRHL is reimagining how and where hockey can be played and enjoyed. From neighborhood streets to underutilized rinks, the league is built on the belief that hockey doesn’t need ice to thrive—it just needs passion, accessibility, and community.
By creating opportunities for spectators and players alike, XRHL is introducing more people to the game in a way that’s inclusive, approachable, and exciting. Whether you're a lifelong fan or brand new to hockey, XRHL offers a fresh perspective on the sport. Check them out here: https://www.xrhl.net/

“We want to show that hockey can be played anywhere—and that everyone can be part of it.”
This mission extends beyond entertainment. The league is motivated by a deeper purpose: bringing people from all walks of life into the sport and creating shared experiences through play.
Driven by Passion—and Purpose
What gets the XRHL team out of bed each morning? A simple but powerful goal: introducing more people to hockey and helping them discover a new passion.
That same passion fuels their commitment to community impact, particularly in working with individuals with disabilities. Teaching someone something new—especially something as engaging as hockey—and seeing their enjoyment is what makes the work meaningful.

Rooted in Toledo
As XRHL gets established in the region, its leadership is also getting to know the community—enjoying time along the riverwalk and exploring local golf courses. That local connection will continue to grow as the league builds its presence and partnerships across the Toledo area.
