And what is the Ratio of public / private schools statewide? That would tilt the numbers in favor of the privates even more. (Meaning there are way more publics than privates)

I think it's about 11-12% of the schools are private.This is just a guess. That is the percentage in the PIHL. There are around 500 Public school districts. Some districts have more that one high school, So lets just use 500. So it's 5 out of every 50 are private. Ratio about 9 to 1 public to private

Plus, when the schools won them could be an issue. I doubt 15-20 years ago when there was almost no real school affiliation I'm sure not all of those teams had pure rosters.

Per the Inquirer today - you can listen to the games tomorrow on WBGG- AM 970 OR log on to

This is on page E 14 in todays inquirer(sports section).

PA HOckey offered a LIVE Webcast of the Pennsylvania State Finals similar to 2005 and we did Tape delay in Aston last year in 2007. The PIHL called and told Heck Video Productions that they are not allowed in the building !

I glanced over the articles, and in one of them, the Western PA coach says something to the effect:

"I think Philly looks at Flyers Cup as the ultimate championship, and then states are not as important."

Umm... what is he smoking? Yes, winning Flyers Cup is a momentous accomplishment but pales in comparison to winning a state championship. Just because we don't win most of the games doesn't mean we don't care about them. What kid is going to say, "ok, we advanced to the championship, who cares if we win or lose?" Guy is nuts in my opinion.

Let's go east!

Is anyone else having trouble with the online radio broadcast? Is there somewhere else I can listen/watch it online?

It is on now and I accessed it through the link.
It is Quaker Valley 1, East 0 after 1st period.
East just had a goal called off.

Quaker Valley is on their 7th penalty!

Game is tied at 1! I believe the shots on goal are 20-5 in favor of East. Goal scored by Pruitt, from Oriente.

WC East had an advantage in the power plays more from some real undisciplined play by QV than the officiating which I thought was good
