1st Overall – Grayden Powell Goes 1st Overall To The Parker Royals

Colorado Springs, CO – The Professional Inline Hockey Association is proud to announce that             Grayden Powell, from Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, was selected as the first overall pick in the 2025 PIHA Draft. A dynamic forward with tremendous scoring ability, Powell has built a reputation as a gifted two-way player who consistently elevates his team’s performance on both ends of the rink.

Powell plays inline hockey for the Rink Rat Vipers and ice hockey at the Notre Dame Hockey Academy, where his offensive instincts, quick release, and commitment to team play have stood out against elite competition. Named to Team World at the 2025 State Wars, Powell continues to demonstrate his talent on the national stage. Away from competition, he draws inspiration from his favorite player, Brayden Point, and is quickly establishing himself as one of the brightest young stars in the sport.
