Our History

Mars Hockey ....THE Fastest Game on the Planet!


The Mars Hockey Club has a rich tradition of High School hockey excellence.  Currently, the Mars Hockey Club has teams at the Varsity, Junior Varsity and Middle School levels.  Players on the ice hockey teams live within the Mars Area School District in Mars, Pennsylvania.  The Fighting Planets play in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League (PIHL) and the hockey team is recognized as an official club sport by the Mars Area School District and Athletic Department.

Our History

The Mars Hockey Club was founded in 1988 by Ruth and Jay Wilson. The original team consisted of 12 players age 13-18 years old. Only 4 players had any previous hockey experience.

The club has grown over the years to  an average of 50 players on 3 teams, Varsity, JV and Middle School. The Varsity team has won 4 Penguins Cup Championships and 2 State Championships.

The success of the club is the result of a lot of hard work starting at the Middle School level. Thanks goes out to all the kids, parents and coaches who have been a part of the Mars Hockey Club over the years.
