Pitt ranked # 14 and IUP ranked # 31 in Mid-January rankings
Pitt will get auto bid to Nationals and has proven themselves to be competitive against # 8 Liberty and # 7 Ohio U which is why they left CHMA

First of all, Canevin would need to be pure to move to Class A (they have a handful of KO and Seton LaSalle players) They are close and should want to move up.
The whole Moon situation was a fiasco and their program has suffered ever since. The whole Open Class /D2 has a lot of pitfalls and instead of developing pure programs has become way less than delivered.
The West Virginia Schools are not a part of the Pennsylvania High Hockey Championships and should be in another division similar to Delaware and South Jersey Schools of the Flyers Cup.
The PIHL A will have chance in the State Finals as whoever wins will get a less than stellar West Chester East or a new Flyers Cup champion that is nowhere near the WCE Teams or Rustin powerhouses since 2012. Although the Penguins Cup champs will not be the caliber of some the Mars teams or QV Teams or Franklin 2017, they are all pretty competitive.

Competitive Balance works in AAA because numbers are consistent in those programs EVERY year. AA works pretty well as well as those schools have JV and Varsity with good numbers ( North Hills lost a handful + of Seniors and never should have been moved).
Class A is a mix of schools which should be in AA because they JV and Varsity with decent numbers and schools like Quaker Valley Greensburg Salem and others that are true A Schools. The rest of Class A is a dumping ground of schools either in trouble or mis managed along the way going through a rough stretch and true Class A schools (Freeport Avonworth Beaver and others). The WV schools should play in Class B !
The playoff set-up is a disaster with 6 schools from each division. Should have taken 8 and 4.
Western Pa has not won States since 2012 Quaker Valley and has a shot this year with several good teams here and a weaker than usual Flyers Cup A Bracket.

the # 7 Team will have a really good record and NOT Make the Playoffs

Which is why loading up the one division was a dumb idea. If this is, in fact, the playoff scenario.
There will be crossover in Round 1 of the playoffs and the upper division will rule. 1st and 2nd place schools get byes and seeded in final 8 same as a year ago

So is 8-4 Mars better than 12-0 Chartiers Valley? Anybody know why the PIHL loaded up A Gold? How many from each group will qualify for the playoffs? No crossover play so they really have no idea if any of the teams in Blue can compete with Gold! Makes for an interesting playoff scenario!
There will be 6 schools from Blue and 6 schools from Gold. If you started Playoffs today 5-6 Beaver would get a spot and 8-4 Mars would be out ?

So, it looks like we added 2 new rows at the AAA division. Considering that there’s only a 3 point difference between the current #2 through #7 in the standings…it’s basically a bingo ball shuffle each week…just call out each ball as they pop out one at a time. The way that the parity has been; it would probably look the same.
It’s been interesting all season, but now is when each game will be amplified. It’s going to make for a really exciting final few weeks. Hope everyone stays healthy and available for their teams. And as the Old 2-9er would say, “buckle up baby”
There is no dominant school at AAA which makes home Ice for Round 1 pretty important

No speculation for IUP! Haha
IUP was $ 2800 two years ago and don't miss writing that check but very good experience and fun to watch
We had over 600 views on IUP Hockey You Tube per game and games were well attended at S&T Bank Arena

USC definitely playing well and sustaining it through the season. I'm surprised how good they are but maybe I should not be. I cut the list off so obviously there are several teams below this but I felt like these are the ones that are all competing at the top. On The broadcast tonight they said it is roughly the midpoint of the season so it's going to be a fun finish.
There is definitely a change in culture in that program, a after making the Penguins Cup and I saw a difference in Jamestown earlier this month. Any of 6 or 7 schools are in the hunt.......should be interesting finish into the playoffs in AAA
