North Allegheny’s Connor Chi (right) scored 13 points in the Tigers’ first seven games.
North Allegheny’s Connor Chi occasionally gets cross-checked behind the play or hit a little late by an opponent trying to intimidate him on the ice.
At maybe 5-foot-8, Chi understands why.
“It’s all good,” he said. “It’s part of the game.”
Yet, so far this season, that strategy certainly hasn’t worked to slow down the top scorer in the PIHL’s largest classification. Wearing No. 43 on his black-and-gold jersey, Chi’s goal-scoring knack might conjure memories of former Pittsburgh Penguins forward Conor Sheary, who’s 5-8.
