Tournament Program
The Barbarians, Invaders, & Vikings Family
SPBH hosts penguin, beaver, & cadet division co-ed teams that practice (almost) year round and compete in regional tournaments (and usually at least one out-of-state tournament). The teams were founded at South Hills Dek Hockey in 2014, and transitioned to the current nonprofit organization in 2023. In 2024, SPBH merged with McBride Dek Hockey and moved to McBride Park.
​
SPBH is a member organization of the PBHL.

Meet the Teams
Our kids come from from neighborhoods all over south Pittsburgh, from the City of Pittsburgh throughout the South Hills & Mon Valley. Teams are co-ed, and supported by sponsors and fundraisers throughout the year. In addition to skills & sportsmanship, these kids and families also form tight bonds both on and off the dek.
Penguin Division
Ages 7-9
Beaver Division
Ages 10-12
Cadet Division
Ages 13-15
Join our Tournament Teams
2025 team tryouts were held and teams have been determined. If your child is interested in playing tournament ball hockey, we have opportunities for "taxi squad" positions on our beaver and penguin aged teams, with the potential to move to full-time. Contact vicepresidentspbh@gmail.com.
