Rose Semplice


Recommended Posts

Just heard the passing of Rose Semplice. For those who don't know her or only as Len Semplice's mother that is a shame. She pretty much single handed started high school hockey in western PA. Thousands have her to thank for their HS hockey experiences. She also brought AAA hockey (don't blame her - others have really screwed it up) here also with the Jr. Pens. I hope the league and the Penguins do something to honor her.

 In 1980, Rose was elected President of the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League and became the first female ever appointed to head up a scholastic sport league in Pennsylvania. In 2012, Rose was awarded before a sellout crowd at PPG Paints Arena the first Annual Pittsburgh Penguins Founders & Builders Award.
