Pittsburgh Puffins

Disappointing news for the Pittsburgh hockey community.

Some of our players and coaches helped an awesome group of girls learn to play hockey at the Estelle Campbell Boys & Girls Club in Lawrenceville yesterday!

We're looking for a few more skaters for our scrimmage tonight from 6-7:30 p.m. at Roy McKnight Hockey Center at Shady Side Academy. Cost is $15 (paid via PayPal, Venmo, or cash) and you must have a current USA Hockey Membership (we will need your number before you get on the ice). COVID-19 protocols are in effect in the rink, which includes wearing masks at all times except when on the ice, arriving dressed 15 mins before ice time and leaving 15 mins after leaving the ice. Locker rooms will be closed and no spectators will be permitted. Email us at [email protected] if interested in playing tonight.

28 years ago, Manon Rheaume became the first woman to play in the NHL when she entered as a goalie for the Tampa Bay Lightning in an exhibition game against the St. Louis Blues! #HockeyIsForEveryone

2020-2021 season update: In order for our players and Puff-fans to stay safe and healthy during the ongoing pandemic, at this time, the teams in the East Coast Women's Hockey League (Pittsburgh Puffins, Hagerstown Mayhem, Chesapeake Bay Lightning, Prince William Wildcats) have decided to postpone the 2020-2021 season. They will meet in December to see if there might be a possibility of a January 2021 start to the season. In the meantime, we will be hosting local scrimmages (w...hen ice time is available) for any women hockey players as well as some ice time for scrimmages with other ECWHL teams. When the scrimmages are officially scheduled, we’ll post them on our Facebook page, but you can also contact us via our webpage if you are interested in our scrimmage schedule: https://www.pghpuffins.com/contact. Even though this season will look a little different for us, we look forward to playing hockey and staying in shape in the safest way possible. See more
