The Sharrer Cup was dedicated in 2005 and is named after long time Keystone State Games Ice Hockey Director and Founder Roger Sharrer, who gave many years of dedication and leadership to the the Ice Hockey community. Prior to the formal recognition, the Central Region previously had captured the overall Keystone State Games Medal Count in 2000, when the games were conducted in Johnstown [Indiana] when the Central won Gold Medals at the Bantam, Midget and Junior Male levels and a Silver at the Junior Female level.
The smallest region in number and largest in area, Central captured its first Sharrer Cup in dramatic fashion winning the Bantam Division and finished runner-up in the Midget and Junior Male Division on the final day to edged out the South Region for the overall Keystone Games Ice Hockey honors. According to Keystone State Games Chair, Owen Costello, the year 2011 marked the first time in the 30 year history that all four Regions won Gold as the Central captured the Bantam Division, the West captured the Midget Division, the East captured the Junior Female Division and the South captured the Junior Male Division.
The Keystone Games Ice Hockey is a yearly Ice Hockey Competition that began in 1982 and brings the top athletes in the State of Pennsylvania together in a 3-game Olympic style format each Summer.
