On 28 February 2012, the PIHA co-founder Charley Yoder argued "it became the series the league hoped for" since Suffolk Sting and their rivals "played hard, physical hockey and were very well matched. Two overtimes and some of the best players in the country coming together to show off our sport was exactly what the league was looking for." Furthermore, the PIHA gave a relevant contribution to the growth of the National Roller Hockey League, together with the AIHL (American Inline Hockey League]]) and the MLRH (Major League Roller Hockey).
