The Burrell Hockey Team had a breakthrough regular season with a strong winning record of 16-3. The team consists of several schools including Burrell, Highlands, Valley, Riverview, and Penn Hills. "The Boys" worked together as one tough team, capitalizing on their good chemistry and even better plays to win almost every game. The team was led by Captains Senior Johnny Lukac, the only captain from Burrell, as well as Tyler Danko (Valley) and Julian Kemp (Highlands).
After the regular season ended, they went on to compete in the Pen's Cup after winning two post-season games, and 13 total games in a row. Our boys suffered a hard loss to Neshannock in the close championship game (Penguin's Cup), 6-5.
