Shawn Hytla is a center on the Moon Area Tigers of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League. He started skating and playing hockey when he was four years old, when his father signed him up for “Learn to skate” class and his hockey career took off.
Hytla plays strong and physical but can also score goals. He’s the leading goal scorer with eight this season. “My game has changed over the years with getting faster and my shot has improved,” said Hytla. “My linemates give me the puck when they can and I aim for the net and shoot the puck.” Hytla serves as assistant captain on this team and he knows he has a big responsibility and wants his teammates who follow in his skates. “I have to be a leader for this team,” Hytla said. “I want the team to follow how I play, and having them look up to me is a great feeling.” The Tigers have been in first place of the Varsity Division 2 standings since the beginning of the season, and Hytla credits the coaching staff and the players for working hard every day. He also envisions the team going all the way through championships and winning his third title with the club. Even though Hytla is only a junior, he plans on going to Coastal Carolina University with the possibility of majoring in business.
