A year ago, the PIHL Penguins Cup was raised by Peters Township in 3A, Thomas Jefferson in 2A and Norwin in A, and Neshannock won the Division II championship.

This season, Peters Township hopes to repeat while three new champions will be crowned Monday and Tuesday at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry.

The PIHL will have two days of championship high school hockey and all four title games can be seen on Trib HSSN.
