The PHPA is the certified, U.S. National Labor Relations Board collective bargaining representative for over 1,500 players across 63 teams in the American Hockey League, ECHL, and Central Hockey League.

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins will play the Syracuse Crunch in the Eastern Conference Finals beginning Saturday night in Syracuse. In the Western Conference Finals, the Grand Rapids Griffins will take on the Oklahoma City Barons.

The Providence Bruins took a commanding 3-0 series lead with a 2-1 overtime victory in Game 3. But the Penguins stayed with the game plan and it paid off with four consecutive wins - including convincing shutouts in Game 5 and Game 7.

Luke Glendening's goal at 15:57 of the third period spelled the end of Toronto's season as the Grand Rapids Griffins rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the third period to beat the Marlies 4-3 on Tuesday, and win the AHL Western Conference semifinal 4-2. Grand Rapids will face the Oklahoma City Barons in the conference final.

Yannick Tifu's identical twin goals have the Reading Royals on the verge of their first ECHL Kelly Cup championship.
