Pennsylvania High School Hockey Championships

By Jeff Mauro and Jeff Mauro

Author Jeff Mauro will keep you on the edge of your seat with stories and photographs of some of the biggest coaches, players, and teams in Pennsylvania high school hockey championship history.

The Pennsylvania High School Hockey Championships began in 1975 as a vision of several people who understood the hard work and achievement of the student athletes in Pennsylvania. Whether it was Jim Cox's overtime winner for Baldwin or Downingtown East's five-overtime classic, the championship continues to keep fans and followers alike on the edges of their seats. Many great teams, such as eight-time champions Meadville and seven-time champions Bayard Rustin, have reached this championship. Notable alumni include Germantown Academy's Mike Richter and Pine Richland's Brandon Saad, both Stanley Cup champions. The development of high school hockey in Pennsylvania begins in grade school and continues through middle school and junior varsity. It is a community effort with the support of many. Today, teams from 150 high schools compete in the championship. Jeff Mauro is the acting director of the Pennsylvania Hockey Foundation and a founding member of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League. His journey in hockey began in 1971. He watched his brothers play and coach, saw his high school win the state championship twice, and was a part of his son's journey in the game of hockey with his team reaching the state championship.
