About Us

The Pittsburgh Predators Hockey Club is a non-profit 501(c)3, youth sports organization operating an amateur ice hockey program in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2001 by Ralph Murovich, the program has doubled in size to over 400 players and hosts Tier I & Tier II teams at the 8U-18U levels.

We take pride in having an alumni of over 500 players that have advanced to a higher level of hockey after playing in our program, including 37 professional (4 NHL), 94 NCAA (Div. I & Div. III), 190+ to Junior hockey, and more than 300 to ACHA college hockey.

We also currently have a coaching staff with 7 former pro hockey players with over 2,200 professional games played in the NHL, AHL, ECHL, and European pro leagues.
