PIAA Competitive Spirit Championships: We’ve got the spirit, how about you?

The venerable old barn was home to the American Hockey League’s Hershey Bears for 66 years until 2002, when they moved into the nearby Giant Center. The arena, which survived a fire that damaged the roof in July of 2012, also has served as host for past PIAA wrestling and basketball championships, the Ice Capades, Disney on Ice, the World Wrestling Federation, professional soccer and an extravagant birthday celebration for former President Dwight Eisenhower. The most famous event staged ever here, though, was in 1962, when Wilt Chamberlain scored an NBA-record 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks. Well, now you can add another first to the arena’s long, rich history. The PIAA Competitive Spirit Championships were held here Saturday, February 2nd.
