Every February Pa Hockey goes through the process of picking the top 25 players in Eastern and Western Pennsylvania. Soooo....... after much anguish and paring down a list of about 100 players the Top 25 in Western Pa is here and its sister Top 25 in Eastern Pa is here as well.
And if that isn't enough our annual list of the top 5 Fans is here and Top 5 Freshman who have bolted onto the scene as well as our Top 5 coaching performances[ Eastern and Western Pa]. Finally, if you are going to battle or want to build a company the question is who would you want to be on the Board of Directors of that entity....well our Top 10 Scholars are a start and I have a sneaking suspicion some of these kids are Ivy League material and the top 10 'Green Acres Moments in Pa Hockey !
Enjoy it ! Comments are welcome ! And if you don't like it go cry about it on PIHLWeb Discussion Forum ..... The Pa Hockey Top 25 is one reason why it the # 1 Interscholastic Hockey Website in the State of Pennsylvania !
The Pa Hockey Top 25 is now available !
The 21st Chicago Showcase tournament will be played on April 13th through the 17th at the AHAI Center in Naperville, Illinois. Team Pittsburgh and Team Philadelphia will participate again in this years Showcase and the tryouts will be held in March to select the teams to participate in this event.
