Returning

 Spring 2022

Details coming soon

PIHL's equipment rules, especially the requirement to wear throat guards (also known as "neck guards").

The PIHL is alerting all teams and players that throat guard enforcement will be re-emphasized going forward, and that the teams and players are primarily responsible for ensuring that all players are properly and safely equipped.  Specifically, the coaches are being advised that enforcement of the throat guard rule should not be used as an opportunity to criticize the officials for other calls during the game.  If, however, a player makes it onto the ice and he/she is not wearing proper equipment, we as officials are expected to enforce the League rules.

Statistics for the month: 
Games Played: 4 Goals: 9 Assists: 8
Average Points Per Game: 4.25

Drake continues to elevate his game every week and is a fierce competitor. He was selected as the team’s captain for the season and has led the team both on the ice and in the locker room. Currently he has helped the team on a five game win streak against some of the top competition in the division.  He will always put forth maximum effort in all three zones and any situation he’s asked to play. Every week and game he continues to improve and get better.  Drake is a very talented hockey player but an even better teammate.

A-Nico Catalde, 11th grade, Forward, McDowell

Statistics for the month: 5 G / 8 A - 13 points (3 games)

He is an outstanding hockey player with a strong work ethic and fantastic leadership skills as the captain of our team - on top of that he is able to produce for our team and currently leads the PIHL A (second in all of the PIHL) in points.
