this is one way:

 

<?php
function get_si ( $array, $olg ) {
  foreach($sptAry $keys){
    if($keys['olg'] == $olg)
      return $keys['si'];
  }
  return false;
}
$sptAry = array(
'hockey' => array( 'olg'=>'hky', 'si'=>'nhl', ),
'baseball' => array( 'olg'=>'bbl', 'si'=>'mlb', ),
);
print get_si($sptAry,'hky');
?>
