   Every year at this time, teams across Western Pennsylvania clinch playoff berths and also at the top of each division clinch a division title. The diminishing of the number of teams competing has made it a little easiers for some schools to repeat, but many new schools have re-captured the glory of clinching the division title under the radar.

In addition, you can recount your schools history as we have also compiled a list of schools dating back to 1971 from the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League [WPIHL], Lake Shore Hockey League [LKSHL] and South Hills Interscholastic Hockey League [SHIHL] prior to 1999, which includes League Championships.
