It was a big night for the CPIHL again in the quarterfinals of the Flyers Cup invitational tournament Wednesday night! 

Palmyra defeated Springfield 4-1. The Cougars will play WC Bayard Rustin Monday night in the semifinals.

Hershey defeated Strath Haven 5-0, for their second shutout of the Flyers Cup this year. The Trojans advance to play West Chester East on Monday in the semis. 

With wins by both Palmyra and Hershey, it would be an all-CPIHL final!

Also tonight, Lower Dauphin, who was playing without several key players due to illness and injury, hung tough against WC East but lost 5-3. It marks the end of a terrific season for the Falcons. 

You can find upcoming game times and other info by visiting Flyers-Cup.org. 

Before more than 2,000 passionate fans at historic Hersheypark Arena, the Central Dauphin Rams and Cedar Crest Falcons won the Bears and Viola Cups!

Our thanks to the Hershey Bears for hosting "CPIHL Night" at Giant Center on December 15th! A portion of the proceeds from the postgame jersey auction were donated to the CPIHL.

The CPIHL had a table set up on the Giant Center concourse. We loved visiting with so many CPIHL alumni players who brought their families to show them their names on one of our two championship cups!  

With games in both the Bears and Viola Divisions Monday night, the CPIHL 2019-2020 season is now fully underway. We had amazing crowds across the region - great to see our fans back out there supporting our teams. Best of luck to all our players and coaches at the Varsity, JV and Middle School levels!

This summer, USA Hockey adopted a Declaration of Player Safety, Fair Play and Respect for the 2019-20 season. Accepted practices such as "finishing your check" will no longer be acceptable in certain situations. We encourage all players and fans to watch the below video with examples of what is and is not acceptable. The CPIHL reviewed these new rules with our head coaches across the league during a recent meeting. 

All CPIHL players are now invited to register for the upcoming 2019-20 season! Players at all levels are required to register. Please click the blue registration bar below. Deadline to register is August 15!

Our MSM United and Shamrocks clubs will be merging for the upcoming season.

At the April meeting of the CPIHL Board of Directors, the league voted unanimously to welcome the Susquehanna Valley Stampede to the league. Formerly with the Northeast PA Scholastic Hockey League, the Stampede rosters players from several schools in the Sunbury/Lewisburg region. While they practice at a rink in Sunbury, the Stampede will play its home games at Twin Ponds East. The Board vote allows the Stampede to play on a one-season trial, which will be reevaluated in early 2020. It is exciting to see our league grow. WELCOME TO THE CPIHL!

The Hershey Trojans' thrilling run to the Flyers Cup Championships fell short, losing to top-seeded West Chester Bayard Rustin, 5-1. The Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia saw a strong turnout from Hershey fans and the underdog Trojans played the favorites tough, trailing just 3-1 after two periods. While it wasn't the result they were looking for, Hershey gave the CPIHL plenty of thrills during their postseason run! 

In front of a packed house at the historic Hersheypark Arena, fans were treated to two games that weren't decided until the final minutes. In fact, the Bears Cup final needed overtime. 

In the end, Warwick defeated West Shore 5-3 to win the Viola Cup. And Hershey beat longtime rival Palmyra 4-3 to take the Bears Cup.

Thanks to all our fans who came out to support these four outstanding teams! Scroll down for great video from Championship Night!

It was quite a night for Warwick's Logan Hann. Shortly after backstopping his Warriors to a Viola Cup Championship, Logan learned that he was selected winner of the CPIHL Justin Yingling Memorial Award. Presented to Logan by Justin's parents, Jane and Jack Yingling, Logan was recognized for his many outstanding qualities both on and off the ice.

Also honored were award finalists, Jake Jesberger from Penn Manor and Kirk Patti with the Shamrocks.

Logan received a $500 scholarship from the CPIHL!

We are excited to welcome fans to Championship Night this Friday, March 1, at historic Hersheypark Arena!

Gates open at 5:15pm. Admission is $5, except for children 11 and under who are admitted for free, and covers both games. The Viola Cup game featuring West Shore and Warwick begins at 6:15, and the Bears Cup game featuring Hershey and Palmyra begins at 8:30. 

Due to construction at Hersheypark, Arena staff have provided us with the following parking information to share with our fans: 

Enter at the main complex entrance at Giant Center and proceed through the booths following signs for Hersheypark Arena. There is no parking charge; booth attendants will wave spectators through for free when you tell them you are attending high school hockey.

Due to the construction there is limited parking available in the eastern part of the lot between Hersheypark Stadium and Hersheypark Arena. All other parking is in the lot along the west side of the Stadium, as noted on the map. Once parked along the west side of the stadium, spectators should walk along the south end (box office) of the Stadium and then turn south toward the Arena, entering in Entrance Four.

There are marked handicapped spaces in the lot directly across from Entrance 4 of the Arena.

Please allow extra time due to a 7pm concert at Giant Center that night.

The CPIHL is mourning a member of our hockey family. Kelly Soule, mother of Shamrocks player Michael Soule, lost her battle with cancer. Kelly was a proud 'hockey mom' who was so excited that Michael was drafted for the 2019 All-Star game. She was able to see him in his All-Star jersey. The hockey community is a strong one that comes together at times of celebration and times of great sadness. A moment of silence was held at our varsity games, including this one between the Shamrocks and Twin Valley. The CPIHL sends thoughts and prayers to Michael and his father, George.

The CPIHL is proud to unveil our All-Star Game logo! This 25th Anniversary logo  will be worn by our Varsity and Middle School All-Stars on Jan. 30 when the All-Star games are played in York. Varsity teams will be chosen during the annual CPIHL All-Star Draft on Sunday, Jan. 6 in Hummelstown. Middle School All-Stars will be presented with their All-Star jerseys prior to games throughout the month of January. All-Star apparel is now available for purchase. Just click the logo! 

On Sunday, Dec. 23, Mechanicsburg alumni gathered at Twin Ponds West for a holiday game. By the end of the night they had raised more than $500 for the CPIHL Justin Yingling Memorial Award. Thanks to all involved for showing the strength of our hockey community!

At the November CPIHL Board of Directors meeting, the 2018-19 Varsity postseason format was approved.

Bears Division:

The Top 3 teams at the conclusion of the regular season automatically qualify for the playoffs. The teams ranked 4th and 5th in points will play a one game 'play-in' game to qualify as the 4th playoff team. Those four teams will then play a double-elimination format as they compete for the Bears Cup!

Viola Division:

The Top 6 teams at the conclusion of the regular season automatically qualify for the playoffs. The 1st and 2nd seeds earn a first-round bye. Those six teams will play a double-elimination format as they compete for the Viola Cup!

The 2018-19 season marks a huge milestone for the CPIHL, our teams and our players -- 25 years of scholastic ice hockey! And our league has never been stronger. This year will feature nearly 45 Varsity, Junior Varsity and Middle School teams. 

For the first time in our 25 year history, the league now will feature games played between our "pure" teams and teams that feature skaters from more than one school. It is a change embraced league-wide that will result in exciting new matchups and a chance for our fans to see talented players they have not had a chance to watch in previous seasons.

We really like our 25th Anniversary logo and hope you do, too. Now available for purchase is Limited Edition 25th Anniversary CPIHL apparel. Click on the logo to be directed to our online store! 

The CPIHL welcomes the Twin Valley Ice Hockey Club for the upcoming 2018-19 season! Located in Berks County, Twin Valley has made the move from the EPSHL to the CPIHL and will roster teams at the Varsity and Middle School levels.

New for our 25th Anniversary Season, the CPIHL has approved 3-on-3 Sudden Death Overtime for the 2018-19 regular season. The five-minute period promises to bring the excitement featured in NHL overtime games to the CPIHL! 

Welcome to the online home of the CPIHL! Here you will find information about our league, teams, schedule, special events and much more.
