2022-23 Franklin Regional JR Panthers Registration

Franklin Regional Hockey Family, another year is upon us and hopefully some tremendous hockey to watch. As we begin this season an important update for all to note.

The PIHL will be monitoring games more closely for negative fan participation especially in reference to the referees. A fan that is found to be yelling negative comments towards the referees will be removed from the game. If the refs are not sure of the individual they will look for the coaches to name the offender or the head coach will be removed. Please take note I have not mentioned profanity, this goes without saying. It will be any yelling of negative comments that will result in removal.

 

To that note we ask:

 

 All those who attend, please be respectful of the refs and the other team. We at Franklin want to demonstrate what it means to be a tremendous and proud fan of Franklin Hockey for our players and student body. Let us cheer for them positively and powerfully so that others notice.  Most importantly let's be the example for our players in our display of showmanship.

Sincerely,

David Lavrich

Franklin Regional Hockey President

The Franklin Regional Hockey Association would like to congratulate the winners of the Bearley Memorial Tournament.

Congratulations to the South Fayette Middle School with a  victory over Franklin Regional Middle School.

Congratulations to the Central Catholic  JV with a victory of Pine Richland JV.

Franklin Region Hockey Associate would like to thank all teams for participating in the Bearley Memorial Tournament.

 

As many have heard the tragic news, the Franklin Regional community lost a beautiful soul over the weekend.  Damian Bearley, 18 and a 2021 graduate of Franklin Regional School died in a crash early Saturday morning after his car hit a deer.  

 

Damian grew up playing ice hockey for the Franklin Regional Hockey Club and the Allegheny Badgers. Where his parents also played a significant role in those organizations.  Damian's dad, Brian, as a coach, and his mom, Jackie, as a team mom. And right behind them were Zach, Brianna and Gabby cheering him on along with his grandparents and many other relatives!  

 

Our community has supported an amazing GoFundMe account to help with his funeral expenses.

Now our kids are asking what they can do.

 

With your help, we'd like to organize a Stick out for Damian. We are asking anyone with a hockey stick to please sit it on your front porch to honor Damian and his family and friends starting today and running until his 19th birthday on July 17th. And please keep Damian's spirit alive by doing a small act of kindness every day. Opening a door or just smiling at someone can change one person's day. Be that change for Damian. Please forward this to any organization and family that would like to show their support.

 

Thank you.
