And with a tight 2-1 victory over a tough Central York team, the Hershey Trojans return to the Bears Cup Final where they will get a rematch from 2020 with the top-seeded Central Dauphin Rams.

It is sure to be an outstanding night of hockey at Hersheypark Arena on Friday, March 4.

Congratulations to Schuylkill Valley on winning the Berks Division!

Schuylkill Valley defeated Muhlenberg 2 games to 0 in their Best of 3 series to capture the title. 

The CPIHL, in partnership with the Hershey Bears, has arranged for Schuylkill Valley to be recognized during on-ice ceremonies at the Bears game at Giant Center on Sunday, April 10, 2022. 

Congratulations!!

Behind magnificent goaltending by Nolan Harner (38 saves on 40 shots) and offensive production from Todd Griffiths and Anthony Long (2 goals each), the Cedar Crest Falcons defeated the previously top-ranked West Shore squad 5-2 to win the Viola Cup!

It was a tough ending for a West Shore team that quickly advanced to the finals, and should not take away from their accomplishments on what was an excellent season. 

Congratulations to the Falcons - the 2020 CPIHL Viola Cup Champions!

It's doesn't get much more thrilling than this one! The Central Dauphin Rams won the Bear Cup in dramatic fashion when William Hershey scored in overtime to defeat the Hershey Trojans 4-3.

The Trojans jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with goals by Toby Kauffman and Jason Rippon. But three 2nd-period CD goals (Dorman, Kiely, Smith) gave the Rams a 3-2 lead heading to the 3rd period.

A late 3rd period power play goal by Cole Buchanan led to overtime and William Hershey's heroics.

Once again CD goaltender Evan Petras was stellar in net, stopping 28 of 31 shots. In fact, Hershey outshot CD 31-20, however, Petras kept the Rams in the game with timely saves throughout.

Congratulations to the Hershey Trojans on another outstanding season, but this year the Bears Cup goes to the Central Dauphin Rams!

For the Warriors, all-star goalie Logan Hann stopped 24 of the 26 shots he faced. Congratulations to Penn Manor on their fine season.
