Josh Rizzo/Pittsburgh Preps and Colleges fThe Pennsylvania State Hockey Finals wrapped up Saturday at Clearview Arena on Neville Island. Burrell won the inaugural Division 2 Challenge Cup, Garnet Valley won in Class A, North Penn in 2A and Seneca Valley in 3A. the question for hockey's governing body is will the Challenge Cup continue? It is a two-year experiment for what used to be known as the Open Class.
