MINNEAPOLIS, May 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SportsEngine, Inc., an NBC Sports Group company, is partnering with the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation to offer its youth sports technology platform to the Pittsburgh Amateur Hockey League (PAHL) and the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League (PIHL) and their member organizations.
The PAHL and PIHL will move to the SportsEngine platform and utilize SportsEngine's website tools, league management, scoring, team management, online registration, and background screening services. All member organizations within PAHL and PIHL leagues will also be incentivized to transition to the SportsEngine platform.
