PAHL Travel Hockey
The Lawrence County Lightning compete in the Pittsburgh Area Hockey League (PAHL), one of the largest and most competitive youth hockey leagues in Western Pennsylvania. PAHL brings together organizations from across the greater Pittsburgh region and beyond, offering players the chance to compete against a wide variety of teams while developing their skills in a structured, competitive environment.
Travel hockey in the PAHL provides athletes with regular league games, playoff opportunities, and the chance to measure themselves against top talent in the area. Teams travel throughout the Pittsburgh region—and occasionally further—for games, giving players valuable experience on and off the ice.
For Lightning players and families, PAHL play not only builds hockey skills, but also fosters teamwork, sportsmanship, and a strong sense of community across the league.
