Now as everyone knows Pa Hockey is the noted historian of Western Pa Hockey, Eastern Pa Hockey and now doing duties Nationwide through the 'Wall of Champions' that tracks State Championship results from 44 states across the United States.
With all of that on the plate, we also track the Division Champions of Western Pa Hockey and have so since Interscholastic Hockey began here in Western Pa in 1971.
If you'll take a gander at the records attached, we have the Division Championships of every school from the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League, South Hills Interscholastic Hockey League and Lake Shore Hockey League prior to 1999, when the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League was formed. You can also find alot of the detail of your respective schools championships on Pa Hockey History at www.pahockey.org and in the Pa Hockey Yearbook, which will hit the streets soon !
Since our friends the Villans are busy with other activities other than handing out Division Championship Trophies, which are NOT given to the teams when they happen. We thought we'd give our 3000 visitors a week a heads up as to when this occurs. I hope thats not bashing our friends too much, cause they're a little sensitive about the subject.
We would like to congratulate the following schools for capturing their respective division titles:
Class AAA
Bethel Park Blackhawks - For 6 out of the last 8 seasons, the South Division
title has resided in Bethel Park and resulted in 4 Pennsylvania State Class
AAA Championships under Jim McVay. The measuring stick for Class AAA hockey
