Northern Virginia Scholastic Hockey League The Northern Virginia Scholastic Hockey League ( NVSHL ) is a non - affiliated high school ice hockey league composed of teams from the Northern Virginia Area including Fairfax County , Prince Georges County , Loudoun County , Arlington County , Stafford County , and the Cities of Manassas and Alexandria . The NVSHL staff and Board of Directors includes a combination of coaches , parents , team representatives , referee , and rink supervisors . There are also many members who are not affiliated with and particular team or organization . The current league Executive Director is Grey Bullen . Assistant Executive Director is Jeff Nygaard . Bullen joined the league after Bud Sterling served the same capacity for the previous two seasons . Prior to that , the league was headed by Nygaard who brought the league from being a part of the MSHL to its very own distinction , the NVSHL . Teams play a ten game regular season followed by a multi - round single elimination playoff tournament to determine the league champion . History . The NVSHL was created in response to a growing number of varsity - level teams in Northern Virginia . Until the inaugural 2001 - 2002 season , teams from Northern Virginia competed in the similar Maryland Scholastic Hockey League ( MSHL ) . The inaugural season consisted of two conferences of twelve varsity and provisional varsity ( Tier - I ) teams each , as well as a junior varsity ( Tier - II ) league . Since that season , the league has expanded to include twenty - two Varsity , five Provisional Varsity , and nine Junior Varsity teams in the 2005 - 2006 season . The 2005 - 2006 season saw the change of Tier - II to Junior Varsity to more closely reflect the standard of traditional high school sports . Additionally , the league attempts to structure the divisions within the Varsity classification to closely reflect the " Districts " used by the Virginia High School League . NVSHL teams are not officially recognized as varsity school sports by the Commonwealth of Virginia . Only one team , Osbourn High School , has been officially recognized by its local school board , Manassas City Public Schools . Teams . Teams are divided into three levels : Varsity , Provisional Varsity , and Junior Varsity . Varsity teams are further divided into five divisions . Four of these divisions include only varsity teams composed of players from a single school , and are divided by geographical area . These divisions are the Concorde ( North ) Division , Liberty ( East ) Division , Cardinal ( South ) Division , and the Dulles ( West ) Division . In addition , the fifth division is reserved for all provisional varsity teams ( those consisting of players from more than one school ) . The Provisional Division includes teams from all geographical areas . Provisional teams may not qualify for season - ending playoffs , but do compete in regular season games versus other varsity teams . The games count towards each team ' s record equally with that of a game played between two varsity teams or two provisional teams . This is a matter of controversy , however , because a talented provisional team may spoil a varsity team ' s chance to qualify for the league playoffs by defeating them or putting the varsity team at a statistical disadvantage for the purposes of tiebreaker s . Junior Varsity teams play in the Junior Varsity Division , a separate division from varsity and do not compete in regular games versus varsity or provisional varsity teams . There is no distinction between Junior Varsity teams composed of players from single or multiple schools . There currently aren ' t playoffs for junior varsity teams . The last time playoffs were held came in 2003 - 2004 when Forest Park defeated Paul VI . The champion is determined by season record . In years past , there have been playoffs for the Junior Varsity Division . This division was formerly known as the Nygaard Division , named after the first Executive Director of the NVSHL , Jeff Nygaard . The teams participating are ( note that the 2006 - 07 season has a significant realignment of teams and is divided among the North Conference , South Conference , West Conference , and Junior Varsity - some of these revisions are reflected below ) : Norris Division .
