Denis Lemiuex Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 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. https://obituaries.post-gazette.com/obituary/rose-semplice-1085725690 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pa Hockey Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
