Ice Hockey is a popular and growing sport in the state of Pennsylvania. 194 teams competed as varsity high school ice hockey teams in Western and Eastern Pennsylvania. Unlike every other high school sport, hockey is not run under Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association umbrella. However, much of Pennsylvania's varsity high school ice hockey is marginally overseen by the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers through the Penguins Cup and the Flyers Cup.

Format

Varsity teams are divided into three divisions, AAA, AA, and A. Western divisional champions earn a bid to the Penguins Cup playoff tournament. Eastern divisional champions earn a bid to the Flyers Cup playoff tournament. All teams are eligible except non-pure and second varsity teams.

State Championship

The Pennsylvania State High School Ice Hockey Championship is awarded through a state tournament. The tournament pits the champions from the Penguins Cup and Flyers Cup with the winners recieving the AAA, AA, or A Pennsylvania Cup. The location changes every year rotating between Western and Eastern cities. Attempts to copy the PIAA state championships by hosting the games in Hersey, PA lasted a single season, with only the 2005 series being held at the historic Hersheypark Arena.

Alumni

Ray Staszak, R.J. Umberger, Ryan Malone, Bill Thomas,Tony Voce, Mike Richter, Tyler Kolarik, and Nate Guenin are among the professional players that have participated in Pennsylvania high school hockey.
