4/1/2014 12:00:00 PM | Tickets
Bethlehem, PA: After a long off-season, the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks will begin their quest for a league title this Sunday, April 6 at 4:00pm inside Stabler Arena on Lehigh University's Goodman Campus. The PIFL has a 15-week schedule, containing three bye weeks, six home games, playing primarilyon Saturday nights. The PIFL season begins March 22nd and concluding on June 28th. The Steelhawks open the season at home for the first time – taking on the Trenton Freedom in a 4pm Sunday afternoon game inside Stabler Arena.
There are three new teams in the PIFL for the 2014 season, all of which help expand the league northward – the Harrisburg Stampede, Nashville Venom, and Trenton Freedom. Harrisburg and Trenton will become familiar foes of the Steelhawks, each are on the schedule three times each – Trenton makes the trip to the Valley twice, while the Steelhawks travel westward twice to take on the Stampede. Lehigh Valley's biggest existing rival, Richmond Raiders are back on the schedule for two games, one home and one away.
With the addition of these teams, the league will be breaking into two separate conferences. An American Conference consisting of the Alabama Hammers, Albany Panthers, Columbus Lions, and Nashville Venom; and a National Conference that will contain the Steelhawks, Harrisburg Stampede, Richmond Raiders, and Trenton Freedom. The PIFL schedule will feature each team having two rival opponents in which they face those opponents three separate times throughout the season making up half of their regular-season schedule. For the Steelhawks, those rival opponents are found in Harrisburg and Trenton.
Playoffs will now consist of the top two teams from each conference facing each other in semi-final matchups with the winners from the American and National Conference meeting in the championship game.
The most notable matchups on the Steelhawks' schedule include a week 8, May 11th, Mother's Day home game against the Alabama Hammers; a week 12, June 6th trip to Richmond for the first shot of redemption from last season against the Valley's biggest rival; and then a week 15, June 28th regular season home finale again taking on the Raiders.
