Esmark has produced teams that have beaten PPE before. At the older levels they seem to be the program that competes best with PPE around here. And based on the number of kids from the Pgh. area that play for PPE, they should probably be called just PE, drop the Pittsburgh.

You are right! Sorry should have clarified my post better as I was talking about current PAHL standings.

Yes, Vipers will have ice at Alpha/Shadyside side. Vipers will be having tryouts. We are working on dates and budgets now. The Vipers program will not be changing, just relocating. Yes, the plan is for Esmark to “expand” to AA teams, essentially absorbing the Viper Stars teams. Black Bear has said REPEATEDLY that they’d “support Esmark in any capacity” so the hope/plan is they extend whatever ice time is needed in order for this to occur. We are doing our best to make the best out of a very crappy situation.

Iceman HA what a joke, just as bad was the Preds

Class A is going to be very good with Fox Chapel being the favorite and any one of a half dozen schools having a chance Class AAA is wide open IMO and watch out for Pine Richland who is red hot

NHAHA is the organization of the Pittsburgh Vipers, Pittsburgh Viper Stars and Esmark. How Esmark became part of NHAHA and who they were prior, I am not sure. Huskies are their own organization. Huskies and NHAHA just happened to share the same home rink at PIA. They are not affiliated.

Now for the important question, have they improved the bar?
