HOCKEY ASSOCIATIONS TEAM UP TO HELP FOOD PANTRIES
On November 1, the West Allegheny and Moon Area Hockey Associations held their
first annual Clearview Challenge Cup. The Challenge Cup, sponsored by Clearview
Federal Credit Union, pitted the
varsity, junior varsity, and
freshmen hockey teams from both
associations against each other in
a three game series to kick off the

ice hockey season. All three
games were broadcast live on the
MSA Sports radio network. In
addition, video of the varsity
game was broadcast live on the
Pennsylvania Interscholastic
Hockey League (PIHL) network.
This event also provided an
opportunity for the West Allegheny
and Moon Area hockey
players, families, and fans to
contribute to their local food
pantries. The bigger challenge of
the evening was to collect the
most food items to be donated to the West Allegheny and West Hills food pantries. In
addition, proceeds from the ticket sales were donated to their respective pantries.
Clearview FCU provided a donation to the organization that collected the most food –
which ended up being evenly split between the food pantries.
The Moon Area hockey teams swept the series three games to none. The bigger
winners, however, were the food pantries, thanks to the donations and awareness
raised for the needs of the communities.
