The idea of teams from the SHSHL and the ICSHL facing each other during the regular season is not new.  But last season was the first during which officially scheduled crossover games were utilized by the Flyers Cup Committee and included in the formula that determined rankings and seedings for Flyers Cup participants and would be participants.

That practice will continue this season with 19 crossover games on the schedule. The first two of them are set for Thursday night with Pennsbury facing Perkiomen Valley (7:20 at Grundy Arena) and Lower Merion hosting Neshaminy (8:00 at Skatium).
on Friday, Father Judge will face Council Rock South (6:30 at Flyers Skate Zone Northeast).

Twelve of the 14 SHSHL teams will participate.

“We kind of dabbled with the crossovers last year,” said  Pennsbury  coach Ryan Daley. Everyone had one. This year we’re doing two which I think is really smart .

“It’s just good to see some new competition. Competition you could very likely see in the Flyers Cup.”
