Season Ticket Holder

SPOTLIGHT What is your earliest memory of Penguins hockey?

“My dad taking me to my first game back in the 90’s with tickets he had received from work. We sat about 10 rows up from the penalty box and I remember saying to my dad that Ulf Samuelsson spends a lot of time in the box! It was an awesome experience!”

Robin Horvatin, Coraopolis, 1st Year as STH

“Going to my first game with my cousins. I was only like 10 years old and they were 11 & 12 and my uncle just dropped us off for the game. We felt so grown up.”

Joseph Ferrese, Mars, 2 Years as STH

Jerry Rossi, his wife Laura and their kids, Dominic, Kali and Brendan.

“I used to watch the Penguins with my dad when I was in school back in the 70’s. I remember going to a few games back then in the Civic Arena.

I moved to Dallas after college and I went all over the place looking for sports bars that would show the 1990-91 playoffs/Cup Final. The following year, I invested $3,500 in one of those 10 ft. satellite dishes so I could watch the Penguins all season long!”

Jerry Rossi, Imperial, 11 Years as STH

“Going to a game and seeing ‘Slapshot Pete’ the penguin waddling across the ice!”

“My earliest memories are around the 1991 and 1992 Stanley Cup victories.

My father was a season ticket holder and we had tickets about five rows behind the glass. My favorite early memory William Humphries with wife Jessica and daughters, Corinne and Addison at Snapshots with Stanley was during a game shortly after Christmas. My father gave my sister and me tickets for the game as Christmas gifts. I danced during a break and had the spotlight shined on me for dancing. My sister still laughs about that 25 year later!”

William Humphries, Pittsburgh, 2 Years as STH

“My first game was when I was seven. It was 1985. We had seats right next to the runway to the locker room. We played the Devils and they beat us pretty good. At the end of the game, Randy Cunneyworth got a game misconduct and had to go to the locker room. He stormed down the runway and when he got into the locker room, he smashed his stick. Pieces of wooden stick went flying everywhere. At that point, I was hooked!”

Ed Lightcap, Verona, 12 Years as STH

Peggy Lonett celebrating the first Cup win with her family

“My first game was in the 1967-68 season. I was 12 years old. My Uncle Fred took his daughter, Donna and me to see the Penguins play the Minnesota North Stars. The glass was lower back then and fans could go down to the ice and get autographs. I got my program signed

by Penguins Bugsy Watson and Glen Sather and North Star Tommy Williams. I can’t tell you if we won the game or not (I think it was a tie); but I was hooked on the sport of hockey from that moment!”

Peggy Lonett, Cranberry Twp., 43 Years as STH

“When my parents went to a bar to watch Game Six vs the North Stars and left me at home because I was ‘too young.’”

Conrad Waite, Pittsburgh, 3 Years as STH

He came into the league as a 5-foot-9, 180-pound, undrafted free agent from Miami, Ohio, and wound up playing 1,093 NHL regular-season games and 130 playoff games with Florida, Tampa Bay, San Jose and the New York Rangers.

Boyle retired 31st all-time among defensemen with 163 goals, 35th in points (605) and 38th in assists (442).

DELAYED START:

Kings F Tanner Pearson and Blackhawks D Nicklas Hjalmarsson were among the players who weren’t eligible to participate at the outset of the 2016-17 season.

Pearson received discipline that included a suspension for the first two games of the new campaign for a check to the head of Oilers D Brandon Davidson in the preseason.

Hjalmarsson’s discipline included the first game of the regular season for a charging penalty he took against Blues F Ty Rattie in the preseason.

MARIO LEMIEUX Co-Owner/Chairman

Mario Lemieux, one of the most respected figures in the National Hockey League, added a new line to his Hall of Fame career last season: Two-time champion owner.

The Penguins claimed the Cup for the second time since Lemieux and partner Ron Burkle bought the team out of bankruptcy in 1999. It gave him four Stanley Cups overall, including two as a player in 1991 and 1992.

Under the leadership of Lemieux and co-owner Ron Burkle, the Penguins have become one of the premier franchises in the NHL and in all of sports, leading the way in fan relations, youth marketing, community outreach and innovative technology while consistently putting a winning product on the ice – including 10 straight playoff appearances and four conference final appearances in the past nine seasons, in addition to the two Cups.

The Penguins entered the 2016-17 season having sold out every game for nineplus seasons while setting new standards for television ratings, corporate sales and social media.

Lemieux and Burkle were driving forces in the quest for a new multi-purpose arena for Pittsburgh and were proud to open the arena in August, 2010. The facility is rated one of the top facilities in North America.

Known as “Le Magnifique,” Lemieux was one of the greatest players in NHL history from 1984-97 and 2000-06, winning six league scoring titles, three MVP awards and two Conn Smythe Trophies in addition to two Stanley Cups.

A gifted 6-foot-4 centerman, he dominated play for parts of three decades despite a relentless series of medical setbacks, including multiple back surgeries and a battle with Hodgkin’s disease. He retired in 2006 as the No. 7 all-time scorer in NHL history with 1,723 points. He also ranked eighth all-time in goals (690) and 10th in assists (1,033).

After retiring as a player in 1997, he put together an ownership group to buy the Penguins out of bankruptcy in September, 1999 and then returned to the ice on Dec. 27, 2000 — becoming the first player-owner of the modern era.

In addition to his legendary hockey accomplishments, he continues to oversee the Mario Lemieux Foundation for cancer research and neo-natal research and hosts its annual celebrity golf tournament, which has raised more than $9 million for charity. More information is available at mariolemieux.org.

The Penguins ownership group, local labor organizations and members of the Pittsburgh business community honored Lemieux in 2012 with a statue to commemorate his career and contributions to the city and the region. Appropriately named “Le Magnifique,” the statue, by nationally-acclaimed sculptor Bruce Wolfe, can be seen outside the arena.

RON BURKLE Co-Owner

Ron Burkle, one of the preeminent investors in retail, manufacturing, technology and distribution industries, is in his 18th season as co-owner of the Penguins.

He teamed with Mario Lemieux to buy the team out of bankruptcy in September, 1999, and together they have become one of the outstanding ownership tandems in professional sports, leading the team to Stanley Cup championships in 2009 and 2016.

Among Burkle’s many significant contributions to the Penguins was his essential role in negotiations for a new arena. It is considered one of the finest indoor facilities in North America and has attracted many national-level events to Pittsburgh, including NCAA basketball and hockey.

Under the leadership of Lemieux and Burkle, the Penguins have sold out every game for nine-plus seasons and consistently ranked among the most fan-friendly and community-minded teams in the NHL and all of pro sports.

The Penguins have earned 10 straight playoff berths and reached the conference finals four times in the past nine years, in addition to the two Stanley Cups. The team’s solid foundation of ownership has enabled hockey management to spend to the salary cap, sign many of the team’s core players to long-term contracts and put a competitive team on the ice year after year.

Burkle founded the Yucaipa Companies in 1986 and has served as Chairman of the Board and controlling shareholder of numerous companies, including Alliance Entertainment, Golden State Foods, Dominick’s, Fred Meyer, Ralphs and Food4Less.

Ron is Co-Chairman of the Burkle Center for International Relations at UCLA and is broadly involved in the community. He is a trustee of the Carter Center, the National Urban League, Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy and AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA). Ron was the Founder and Chairman of the Ralph’s/Food4Less Foundation and the Fred Meyer Inc. Foundation. He was a member of the board of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY), KB Home (NYSE: KBH), Kaufman & Broad S.A. (Euronext: KOF), Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO), the J. Paul Getty Trust, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Music Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

He has received numerous honors and awards, including the AFL-CIO’s Murray Green Meany Kirkland Community Service Award, the Los Angeles County Federation Man of the Year, the Los Angeles County Boy Scouts Jimmy Stewart Person of the Year Award and the APLA Commitment to Life Award.

DAVID MOREHOUSE Chief Executive Officer & President

David Morehouse is Chief Executive Officer and President of the Stanley Cupchampion Penguins, overseeing all aspects of the team’s operation.

The Penguins have become one of the NHL’s strongest business entities during his tenure– selling out every game for nine-plus seasons, setting new standards for television ratings and corporate sales and increasing their focus on innovative youth marketing.

Morehouse joined the team as consultant on the new arena project in 2004 and was named team president in April 2007. He was given the additional responsibilities of Chief Executive Officer just as the new arena was opening in August 2010.

Under his leadership, the Penguins have reshaped their strategic vision with an emphasis on branding, fan relations, community interaction, corporate outreach and cutting-edge technology, while maintaining a high level of performance on the ice.

A strong commitment to fan outreach includes an annual event where players personally deliver season tickets to fans’ homes and a special preseason game were all 18,000 tickets are distributed free to local youth. Morehouse also was a driving force behind the new UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex, which opened in August 2015.

It is the first facility to combine hockey with a world-class medical center and sports performance complex.

Morehouse joined the Penguins following a career in national politics that included stints at the White House, Pentagon and on Capitol Hill – as well as key roles in two Presidential campaigns.

He attended the Community College of Allegheny County and Duquesne University and received a master’s degree in Public Administration from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. He is a native of the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Beechview.

JIM RUTHERFORD Executive Vice President & General Manager

Jim Rutherford enters his third year as Penguins executive vice president and general manager fresh off the greatest season of his managerial career.

During the course of the 2015-16 campaign, Rutherford transformed the Penguins into Stanley Cup champions, thanks in large part to his acquisitions of Phil Kessel, Nick Bonino, Trevor Daley and Carl Hagelin, plus the promotion of Mike Sullivan to head coach in December of 2015.

When the Penguins defeated the San Jose Sharks to win the franchise’s fourth Stanley Cup on June 12, 2016, Rutherford became the first GM in the post-1967 Expansion Era to manage multiple teams to Cup victories, having also done so with Carolina in 2006.

As a reward for quick, on-the-fly re-shaping of the Penguins’ roster, Rutherford won the NHL General Manager of the Year Award for his work in ’15-16.

Rutherford spent the previous 20 years as GM of the Carolina Hurricanes/ Hartford Whalers franchise from 1994-2014, where he was a key architect of the Hurricanes’ 2006 Stanley Cup championship squad and their 2002 Stanley Cup finalist team.

In addition to his general manager duties, he also served 20 years as president of Carolina/Hartford, taking the post in 1994. In his role as president/GM, Rutherford oversaw operations on both the hockey and business sides of the organization.

Over the course of his executive career, Rutherford has won multiple awards, including The Hockey News‘ Executive of the Year in 2002 and ’06.

Additionally, he was voted by his NHL general management peers as Sporting News ‘Executive of the Year’ in 2006.

Before his 22 years in the NHL, Rutherford was recognized as the 1987 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Executive of the Year, and the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Executive of the Year in back-to-back years with the Windsor Spitfires in 1987 and ’88. He oversaw a Spitfires team that won the OHL championship in 1988 and earned a berth in the Memorial Cup. Rutherford played 13 years as a goaltender in the NHL, appearing in 457 career NHL games with Pittsburgh, Toronto, Los Angeles and Detroit. He was selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the first round (10th overall) of the 1969 NHL Draft.

JASON BOTTERILL Associate General Manager

Jason Botterill enters this third season as associate general manager having assisted GM Jim Rutherford in making numerous personnel moves over the last year that resulted in the Penguins winning the Stanley Cup in 2016, the second championship Botterill has helped build during his tenure in Pittsburgh.

As associate GM, Botterill advises Rutherford on all hockey-related matters, including scouting, player development and contract negotiations.

During the summer of 2015, Botterill played a leading role in hiring Mike Sullivan as head coach of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League. Following a hot start to the season with WB/S, Sullivan was eventually promoted to Pittsburgh and helped guide the Penguins to the Stanley Cup victory.

In addition to his duties in Pittsburgh, Botterill serves as the GM of WB/S, which has made the playoffs all seven years he has overseen the team, including back-to-back berths in the Eastern Conference Final in 2013 and ‘14.

Prior to his promotion, Botterill spent the previous five years as the Penguins assistant GM from 2009-14, and the two years prior to that as the team’s director of hockey administration beginning in 2007-08 where he was a key architect of the Penguins’ 2009 Stanley Cup championship team.

Botterill was drafted by the Dallas Stars in the first round (20th overall) in 1994 NHL Draft and played in 88 NHL games for Dallas, Atlanta, Calgary and Buffalo before his career was cut short due to injury.

He also suited up for 393 career minor-league games in the American and International Hockey Leagues, tallying 257 career points.

A native of Edmonton who grew up in Winnipeg, Botterill played four years of college hockey at the University of Michigan and helped lead the Wolverines to an NCAA title in 1996.

Botterill represented Canada in three straight World Junior Championships from 1994-96, winning gold medals all three years.

Following his playing career, he received his MBA from his alma mater, the University of Michigan.

BILL GUERIN Assistant General Manager

Bill Guerin capped his second season as the Penguins assistant general manager by earning the first Stanley Cup championship of his executive career in 2015-16.

Guerin’s responsibilities as assistant general manager include serving as a liaison between the players and management. Guerin was Pittsburgh’s player development coach from 2011-14, where he was instrumental in helping develop the Penguins’ minor league, junior and college prospects, including Tom Kuhnhackl, Bryan Rust and Conor Sheary, who all played huge roles in the 2016 championship run.

Originally drafted by New Jersey in the first round (5th overall) of the 1989 NHL Draft, Guerin won two Stanley Cups (Pittsburgh, 2009; New Jersey, 1995) and spent 18 seasons in the NHL — including his final two with the Penguins. Guerin’s leadership and on-ice performance after being acquired at the NHL trade deadline was a key in Pittsburgh’s ’09 title.

Guerin, a four-time NHL All-Star, tallied 429 career goals and 856 points in 1,263 career NHL games, including five 30-goal and two 40-goal seasons. He was elected to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013.

Before joining Pittsburgh, Karmanos spent 15 years as an executive for the Carolina Hurricanes from 1998-2013, serving various roles with Carolina, including executive director of hockey operations and vice president/assistant general manager under Rutherford.

Karmanos played four years of college hockey at Harvard University from 199296, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors. In 1994, Karmanos represented Team USA at the World Junior Championships, compiling three points (1G-2A) in seven games.

MIKE SULLIVAN Head Coach

Mike Sullivan led the Penguins to one of the greatest in-season turnarounds in franchise history during his first year as head coach in 2015-16, a journey that resulted in a Stanley Cup victory against the San Jose Sharks on June 12, 2016.

Adhering to Sullivan’s advice to ‘Just Play’, the Penguins ended the regular season with the secondbest record in the Eastern Conference and fourth-best mark in the league, in large part because of a 14-2 run to conclude the regular season.

By leading the Penguins to the franchise’s fourth Cup, Sullivan became just the sixth American-born head coach to win the Stanley Cup. Prior to being promoted to Pittsburgh, Sullivan spent the first two-plus months of the 2015-16 season as the head coach of the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins. During his 23-game tenure in WB/S, his club went 18-5, which was good enough for first place in the Atlantic Division. Sullivan’s club also had a franchise-best 11-game winning streak.

A native of Marshfield, Massachusetts, Sullivan began his coaching career in 2002-03, starting the season as head coach of the AHL’s Providence Bruins before joining the NHL’s Bruins as an assistant coach late in the year.

He was promoted to head coach of the NHL Bruins at age 35 in 2003-04, winning a Northeast Division crown in the first of his two years at the helm.

Sullivan served as an NHL assistant coach for seven-consecutive years from 2007-14 with Tampa Bay, the NY Rangers and Vancouver.

In addition to his professional coaching experience, Sullivan has coached the United States three times internationally, including the 2016 World Cup of Hockey when he was an assistant coach. He was the head coach at the 2007 World Championship and an assistant coach at the 2006 Olympic Games in Turino, Italy.

During the 2014-15 season, Sullivan was a member of the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks player development staff.

Sullivan’s 11-year NHL career began with the expansion San Jose Sharks in 1991-92 and included stops in Calgary, Boston and Arizona.

Sullivan played four years of collegiate hockey at Boston University from 1986-90, serving as the Terriers captain as a senior. Sullivan represented the U.S. as a player at the 1988 World Junior Championship.

RICK TOCCHET Assistant Coach

Rick Tocchet is in his third season as an assistant coach of the Penguins.

In his current role, Tocchet works closely with the team’s speedy and dynamic forward group, which had eight players reach double figures in points during the 2016 playoffs, a key reason Pittsburgh was able to win the franchise’s fourth Stanley Cup, the first Cup win of Tocchet’s coaching career.

Tocchet was hired as an assistant coach by Tampa Bay in July, 2008 and was elevated to interim head coach on Nov. 14 of that year. He was named head coach following the ‘08-09 season, where he remained in that position until 2010.

Tocchet began his coaching career as an assistant with the Colorado Avalanche for two years (2002-04) before spending one season (‘05-06) with the Phoenix Coyotes.

A veteran of 18 NHL seasons, including parts of three seasons with the Penguins from 1992-94, Tocchet won a Stanley Cup championship with Pittsburgh in 1992. The four-time NHL All-Star (1989, ‘90, ‘91, ‘93) played 1,144 career NHL games and totaled 440 goals, 952 points and 2,972 penalty minutes in his NHL career.

Tocchet was originally drafted by Philadelphia in the sixth round (125th overall) of the 1983 NHL Draft.

JACQUES MARTIN Assistant Coach

Jacques Martin stepped back behind the Penguins’ bench for a second tour of duty as an assistant coach in December 2015, playing a crucial role in the team’s Stanley Cup win, the first championship of Martin’s lengthy NHL career.

Martin, who enters his fourth season in the Pittsburgh organization, presides over the Penguins’ defensemen and penalty killing unit in his current role. He was instrumental in Kris Letang hitting career highs in all offensive categories in 2015-16. Martin’s PK unit finished with the fifth-best success rate in the NHL. Martin has over 25 years of NHL experience as a general manager, head coach and assistant coach with Pittsburgh, Montreal, Florida, Ottawa, Colorado/Quebec, Chicago and St. Louis.

He won 613 games and made 12 playoff appearances in 17 seasons as an NHL head coach. He won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s ‘most outstanding coach’ with Ottawa in 1999 and was a finalist for the award on three other occasions.

Martin won gold medals as an assistant coach for Team Canada at the 2002 Olympics and the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. He was also an assistant coach on the 2006 Canadian Olympic Team.

MIKE BALES Goaltending Coach Mike Bales has established himself as one of the NHL’s top goaltending coaches during his first three seasons with the team.

During the Penguins’ 2016 Stanley Cup championship drive, Pittsburgh used three goaltenders who thrived under his tutelage, including rookie Matt Murray, whose 15 playoff wins equaled the NHL rookie record.

Under Bales’ guidance, Marc-Andre Fleury has compiled two of the finest seasons of his career. During the 2014-15 campaign, Fleury established a franchise record with 10 shutouts, a figure that led the entire NHL. Bales began his Penguins’ career as the team’s goaltending development coach from 2011-13.

Bales, a native of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, spent 18 seasons playing professionally from 1992-2010, including stints in the NHL with Boston and Ottawa. Bales also saw action with teams in the AHL, IHL, Germany, Sweden and Northern Ireland. He was drafted by the Boston Bruins in the fifth round (105th overall) of the 1990 NHL Draft.

Before turning pro, Bales played three collegiate seasons with Ohio State University of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) from 1989-92.

Wilson Poised to be Next Breakout Player

Jason Seidling

Last March, as the Penguins were on the precipice of emerging as legitimate Stanley Cup contenders, Scott Wilson was busy establishing himself as a candidate to assume a top-nine forward role heading into the playoffs.

Unfortunately for the then-second-year pro, his momentum was halted before it could reach full speed.

A collision between Wilson and Columbus’ Dalton Prout on March 11 at Nationwide Arena ultimately ended Wilson’s season.

At the time of the lower-body injury that ultimately required surgery, Wilson had struck for five goals in a 12-game sequence, including one tally against Buffalo on February 21 that came when he skated on a line with Sidney Crosby.

Thus began a lengthy rehab process for the Oakville, Ontario native, although he was able to remain around the team, which concluded with him celebrating the Stanley Cup win in San Jose on June 12, and later hosting a day with the Cup in his hometown.

Now recovered, Wilson was able to pretty much pick up where he left off last spring.

During the preseason, Wilson either tied or outright led the Penguins in goals (2), assists (3) and points (5) during his five appearances.

65

Most of those points came in Pittsburgh’s exhibition finale on October 8 when he factored into all three goals during a 5-3 setback against Columbus, scoring once and netting two assists.

That breakout performance came with Wilson skating at right wing on a line with Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz, the second-straight game that Wilson flanked Malkin to conclude the exhibition season.

“I thought our line played pretty good,” Wilson told reporters afterwards in the locker room at PPG Paints Arena. “I thought we had a couple good bursts of chances throughout.”

Wilson’s goal came both on an odd-man rush with Malkin, and just seconds after Wilson had hit the post. The 5-foot-11, 183-pound Wilson skated to the top of the crease, then directed a perfect feed from Malkin through the wickets of Sergei Bobrovsky.

“I am trying to play north-south,” Wilson described of his goal. “I know (Malkin) can get me the puck. He is one of the best setup guys in the league.”

According to head coach Mike Sullivan, much of the credit to Wilson’s big afternoon was a result of him doing the things that make him most successful on the ice.

“I thought that was one of Scott’s better games,” Sullivan assessed to reporters. “When he is playing the game that way he is at his best. He is a north-south guy. He is on the puck and is physical when he has an opportunity. He is hard in the corners and goes to the net. He is brave enough to go the front of the net.”

LITTLE PENGUINS LEARN TO PLAY

Enters Ninth Season

Spencer Nichol & Ryan Vilella No one could have predicted the impact on youth hockey that Sidney Crosby has had on Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania since arriving in 2005. Crosby has always been passionate about youth hockey and growing the game. Crosby partnered up with the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation, Reebok (now CCM) and DICK’S Sporting Goods and started the Little Penguins Learn to Play Hockey Program nine years ago.

Nine years, and over 7,000 youth hockey players later, Pittsburgh has become one of the biggest hockey hubs in the country. Due to the success of the Little Penguins program, the National Hockey League has made this a league wide initiative in all 30 NHL cities for the 2016-17 season. Crosby not only is able to influence children by his on-ice performance, but also how he interacts with the community off the ice. He has been an outstanding ambassador for the sport and will continue to help grow the game in North America.

With the help of Crosby, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation, DICK’S Sporting Goods, CCM and the National Hockey League, approximately 1,200 children between the ages of four and eight years old will receive FREE headto-toe hockey equipment this year alone. In pursuit of continuing to grow the game, the program will utilize 25 area locations across Western Pa, West Virginia, and Ohio. The program features age appropriate instruction based on USA Hockey’s ADM model. Participating rinks will host programs consisting of eight to 10, one hour on-ice sessions.

Registration for this year’s program will take place on Tuesday, November 1 at 10:00AM. Programs will begin in January 2017. For more information on the Little Penguins Program, please visit their webpage at www.nhl.com/penguins/community/learn-to-play 70

Penguins Profile:

SCOTT WILSON

Mark Madden

Before last season, Scott Wilson’s season high for goals at any level was 24 in 56 games for the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Georgetown Raiders in 2009-10.

Wilson was 17. He hasn’t since built a reputation as a sniper, either.

Not until last year, anyway.

In 34 games with the Penguins’ Wilkes-Barre/Scranton farm club, the 6-foot, 185-pound winger tallied 22 times. Wilson came to Pittsburgh and scored five goals in 21 NHL games.

Wilson’s campaign was cut short by a broken ankle suffered March 11 at Columbus. But the residue of all those goals is opportunity knocking.

As the Penguins prepared to start the 2016-17 campaign, Wilson was projected to skate on a line with Evgeni Malkin and Patric Hornqvist.

That’s big responsibility. Big pressure. Can Wilson produce big results?

“He’s a real good player and I think, potentially, can be a top-six player,” said coach Mike Sullivan. “Willie missed a lot of time with his broken ankle last year. He’s trying to get his game back, and that’s a bit of a process.

“But I do believe he’s a very good player and has the potential to be in our top six, top nine, however you want to put it.”

Wilson finished the exhibition slate with a flourish, racking up a goal and two assists in the preseason finale, a 5-3 home loss to Columbus on Oct. 8.

Wilson fed Kris Letang for a breakaway goal. His deflected shot was redirected into the net by Malkin. Malkin got Wilson the puck for a short, quick finish in front. Wilson had an excellent afternoon, and displayed solid chemistry with Malkin.

Sidney Crosby didn’t play due to illness. The lines were shuffled, and Wilson spent the afternoon skating with Malkin and Chris Kunitz.

“I’m trying to play north-south,” Wilson said. “I know [Malkin] can get me the puck. He’s one of the best set-up men in the league.

“I’m trying to model myself after [Kunitz]. Watching him, and playing with him, helps me out a lot.”

Wilson, 24, says he’s fully recovered from his fractured ankle.

“I feel good,” said the native of Oakville, Ontario. “I had a good summer training. I skated pretty much the whole summer.

“I haven’t played too many games. I still have a little bit of rust. Just getting back to where I was, last year, before the injury – I’ve done that. This summer was kind of a blessing in disguise. It gave me a little more time to get ready for this year.” continued on page 79

continued from page 77

Wilson had a simple explanation – literally – for last season’s explosion of goals.

“I just played simple,” Wilson said. “Those goals came from me just shooting the puck. Sometimes you try to get a little too cute. But Sully lets me know to play north-south, especially with a guy like Geno. I think it helps just to shoot the puck.

“As soon as [Malkin] gets the puck, I try to just go hard to the net and be ready, because he can sneak anything through the defense.”

Is there pressure skating on a line with Malkin?

“A little bit,” Wilson admitted. “But you can’t let that get to you.”

Wilson was part of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton invasion that infused lots of speed and enthusiasm into the Penguins during last season’s Stanley Cupwinning campaign.

“I played against [Conor Sheary] and [Bryan Rust] in college,” said Wilson, a UMass-Lowell product. “[Tom Kuhnhackl], I’ve known him from development camps and stuff for years now. Just being around those guys and seeing those guys be a big part of this team is something special for all of us young guys. I think we take some pride whenever each of us is doing well.”

Mark Madden hosts a radio show 3-6 p.m. weekdays on WXDX-FM (105.9).

In 2015, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and the Allegheny Intermediate Unit introduced the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation (PFF) STEAM Lending Library to schools districts in Allegheny County. This oneof-a-kind, first in the nation, program has given students the opportunity to explore technology that they may have never had access to otherwise.

Stressing the importance of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math) learning in the region, the Library gives teachers the opportunity to borrow technology to use in their classrooms. The PPF STEAM Lending Library contains nearly 1,000 items, and to date, has impacted educators from 40 schools districts in Allegheny County.

Entering its third year, Tablets in Education has provided elementary students in 11 counties the opportunity to enhance their education through technology.

Since its inception in 2014, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation has donated over 3,900 Kindle Fire tablets to over 200 school districts and special needs programs in the region; impacting over 100,000 students.

Along with the support from the Allegheny Intermediate Unit, Tablets in Education continues to change the way students in our region learn.

MIKE LANGE Penguins Radio Network Play-by-Play Announcer

One of the most unique broadcasters in professional sports, Mike Lange is calling games in his 42nd season with the Penguins, handling radio play-by-play on the club’s flagship station, 105.9 FM The X and the Penguins Radio Network.

Known for his creative and colorful style, including trademark phrases such as “Buy Sam A Drink And Get His Dog One, Too,” Lange was awarded the Foster Hewitt award by the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2001.

Lange’s relationship with the Penguins began in 1974-75, when he broke into the NHL as a radio play-by-play man. He left for one season, but returned in 1976-77 and has been a fixture on the Penguins’ scene ever since.

Lange did radio exclusively until 1979, when games were simulcast on radio and TV. He served as the television voice of the Penguins through 2005-06, before returning to the radio booth in 2006-07.

A native of Sacramento, California, Lange earned a degree in broadcasting from Sacramento State University before starting his career as the voice of the Phoenix Roadrunners (WHL) in 1970. He also served as the play-by-play voice of the San Diego Gulls (WHL) in 1973-74 before joining the Penguins. In addition to his tenure with the Penguins, Lange handled play-by-play duties for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1986-87. A well-known member of the Pittsburgh community, Lange makes numerous personal appearances throughout the year and is actively involved in charity work.

PHIL BOURQUE Penguins Radio Network Color Analyst

Two-time Stanley Cup Champion Phil Bourque is in his 14th season on the Penguins broadcast team, serving as color commentator alongside Mike Lange.

A gritty winger/defenseman, Bourque was signed

by Pittsburgh as a free agent in 1982, and went on to record 164 points (75G-89A) in 344 regular-season games with the Penguins between 1983 and 1992. For his career he totaled 199 points (88G-111A) in 477 games with the Penguins, New York Rangers and Ottawa.

Since retiring from professional hockey in 2000, Bourque has co-hosted Penguins pre- and post-game shows on the Penguins Radio Network and worked as a contributor for ROOT SPORTS’ coverage of Penguins hockey.

JOSH GETZOFF Radio Broadcast Host and PensTV Host

Josh Getzoff is in his second season as a radio broadcast host and PensTV host with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

HOCKEY ETIQUETTE 101 Our goal? To create an awesome game experience for all fans! Help make that happen by remembering the following: 1.

DO NOT ENTER OR EXIT THE SEATING AREA DURING PLAY! Hockey is fast — and goals can be missed in an instant. Fans moving through rows and up aisles can block the view of an entire seating area. Wait until the whistle blows to make your move.

HINT #1: The red light above the penalty boxes is lit for TV timeouts.

TV timeouts occur at the first whistle stops inside the 14:00, 10:00, and 6:00 minute mark of each period, EXCEPT following an icing call or goal. When the light comes on, this is your chance to make a dash to the restroom or your seats!

HINT #2: The concourse TVs feature a countdown clock during the intermissions. Smart, huh? Thank the season ticket holders for recommending this awesome idea!

118

2.

NO LEANING! We know you are into the game, but leaning creates a ripple effect, affecting the view of the fans in the rows behind you.

Sit back so all can enjoy the game!

3.

Keep your eyes on the puck! Pucks can hurt when they enter the seating area!

4.

The arena is a non-smoking facility; smoking of any kind, including e-cigarettes, is prohibited.

5.

It’s hard to like fans of the opposing team, we get it. However, we think it is pretty cool that they chose to come to our building. Be aware of children sitting around you and let the guys on the ice do the talking!

6.

Cheer, clap and let the players know you are here! Hockey is the best sport to watch live — have fun!

Since 2012, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and Highmark have partnered to build a total of 12 dek hockey rinks for local communities through their unique Project Power Play program. Project Power Play is a $2.3 million initiative that was designed to build one dozen dek rinks in Pittsburgh and the surrounding communities over a four-year period.

To support the program, Highmark provided $1.5 million in funding. The Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation also provided funding for the project. The City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County and surrounding communities provided the land as well as maintenance services, lighting and additional support.

The rinks are multi-purpose courts and are suitable for hockey and other sports; including, soccer and lacrosse. All rink sites were chosen based on a community’s need for this type of facility and a local commitment to develop youth programming. Citiparks and local athletic associations continue to program the rinks, with the assistance from the Penguins organization.

To learn more and to help support Project Power Play and other Foundation programs, visit our website pittsburghpenguinsfoundation.org to make a donation.

CONTINUITY TO CHAMPIONSHIP DEFENSE

Mike Prisuta The celebration commenced once the remaining seconds had finally ticked away in San Jose.

Defenseman Ben Lovejoy was the first to reach goaltender Matt Murray, followed by defenseman Ian Cole.

Then it was center Evgeni Malkin, winger Chris Kunitz and winger Tom Kuhnhackl, and then wingers Carl Hagelin, Bryan Rust and Phil Kessel shortly thereafter.

Winger Eric Fehr made it to the melee all the way from the penalty box, and then defenseman Brian Dumoulin, center Matt Cullen and defenseman Olli Maatta.

“They are mobbing Matt Murray,” NBC’s Doc Emrick exclaimed. “He keeled over from the attack.”

It’s a scene the Penguins are out to repeat this season.

And it’s one they would be able to rehearse, should they become so inclined, with just about the entire cast intact.

“A lot of familiar faces, same coaches as last year, it’s a pretty easy transition,” Hagelin said of the 2016-17 Penguins team that will attempt to defend the Stanley Cup championship the 2015-16 team won last season.

“It makes it easier. You don’t have a lot of guys that need to learn new systems or get to know the guys. We should be ready right off the bat. We know we need to play our best every single game to win games but there are a lot of guys in here who know what it takes to be on a winning team.”

Hagelin said “easier” because he and his teammates know repeating will be anything but easy.

No team has won consecutive Cups since the Detroit Red Wings in 1996-97 and 1997-98.

But the Penguins have continuity going for them as they attempt to win another Cup. 148

Lovejoy has moved on to New Jersey since last season.

Winger Beau Bennett (New Jersey) and goaltender Jeff Zatkoff (Los Angeles) also have new NHL addresses.

But the vast majority of the rest of the band has returned together to attempt a Stanley Cup encore.

And that’s a component of this year’s team the returning Penguins grasp and appreciate.

“It’s nice to have that luxury of having played together,” captain Sidney Crosby said. “For the most part, that’s the case.”

These Penguins know what to expect from one another, and they know what it takes after last season’s championship run.

“Playing kind of long into last year, that intensity that desperation that you kind of finished off the season with, hopefully you can kind of carry that on to the start of [this] season,” Crosby continued.

Added Kessel: “We have a lot of guys that have played for a long time in this league.” continued on page 151

The championship defense commenced in “The way our team is training camp.

Despite an influx of designed, the makeup prospects in a lineup of our group, I like to that changed on a gamelook at it as the top to-game basis and the nine (at forward). We temporary absences of feel like we have a some of the Penguins’ real strong top nine.” most prominent contributors due to the ~ Mike Sullivan World Cup of Hockey tournament, head coach Mike Sullivan’s team was able to register three consecutive shutouts in the preseason.

“Our play away from the puck is starting to get a little better in terms of the details,” Sullivan observed at the time.

Continuity was also eventually evident in the preseason in the Penguins’ strength down the middle and abundance of depth up front.

This wasn’t a team that had a No. 1, a No. 2 and a No. 3 line last season, at least not as the Penguins perceived them.

The expectation is they won’t this season, either.

“We call Sid’s line Sid’s line, ‘Geno’s’ line ‘Geno’s’ line and ‘Bones’s’ line ‘Bones’s’ line,” Sullivan said in reference to lines centered by Crosby, Malkin and Nick Bonino. “The way our team is designed, the makeup of our group, I like to look at it as the top nine (at forward). We feel like we have a real strong top nine. Some teams refer to their guys as the top six. We think on any given night one of those lines could be our best line.

“It’s that balanced attack that has been one of the competitive advantages of this group and that has to continue to be that way.”

Goaltending has likewise been a strength, whether it’s been Murray or Marc-Andre Fleury in net.

The Penguins don’t anticipate that changing, either.

“I think that’s where our team always starts from, in goal,” Kunitz said.

“Players in the locker room know our goaltender is one of the best players on our team every single night; it doesn’t matter who we put on the ice.”

That’s one way to end up on the bottom of a championship pile.

PENGUINS IN THE CLASSROOM …

TEACHING STEAM!

Chartiers Valley Middle School

Chartiers Valley Middle School’s STEAM classroom kicked off the school year with the Penguin’s Future Goals — Hockey Scholar program for a unit on how math intersects with the real world. Students greatly enjoyed the interactive simulations and game-like environment in which these lessons are taught.

One student said, “I enjoy math. I enjoy hockey. It’s nice to see them used together in real life!”

Many of the students are avid Penguins fans and this program has built off of that passion to make learning fun. Teachers enjoy the fact that lessons can be self-paced, allowing students who are advanced to go at a faster pace and students who need more time to move without being rushed.

The review exams at the end of each section also give students immediate feedback on their learning progress.

“I love how Future Goals makes real life connections to show us how math is used in real life settings all over the world,” said another STEAM class student.

Hockey Scholar is a digital resource that provides students an opportunity to experience different aspects of hockey while immersing themselves in problem solving situations involving engineering, math and science.

If you’re a 5th-8th grade teacher, learn how to bring Future Goals to your classroom by visiting futuregoals.nhl.com/penguins!

Sheary Looking to

BUILD ON SUCCESS

Bryanna McDermott June 1, 2016. Game Two of the Stanley Cup Final. Overtime.

Penguins captain Sidney Crosby wins the faceoff to Kris Letang, who sends a crisp pass to Conor Sheary at the inner edge of the left circle. He rips a wrist shot past a Patric Hornqvist screen and over the left shoulder of Sharks goalie Martin Jones to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 2-0 series lead over San Jose on their way to the Stanley Cup. Scoring the game-winning goal in overtime of the Stanley Cup Final is a hockey player’s dream, and Sheary accomplished it at just 23 years old.

The Penguins signed Sheary as an undrafted free agent in 2013, the team looking past his small stature at something much larger: a scoring prowess and head-turning speed.

In just 104 games at The University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Sheary scored an impressive 138 points, including 38 goals.

The Massachusetts native carried that success to the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins, where he tallied 27 goals and 71 points in 90 games.

For Sheary, it was all just part of his journey to making it to the NHL. “Last year coming into camp, I was kind of looking for my first call-up and my first NHL game, and then I got the opportunity to play in 44 regularseason games and through playoffs,” Sheary said.

That first call-up came on December 16, 2015, in a 3-0 loss against his hometown Bruins, but the young winger made quite the impression.

In just his second NHL game – also against Boston in a home-and-home series – Sheary played on a line with both Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel, scoring his first goal and adding an assist.

Sheary quickly became an integral part of the Penguins team, getting on the scoresheet in 10 of his 23 playoff games – including notching an assist on Letang’s game-winning goal in Game Six of the Stanley Cup Final.

The experience helped build Sheary’s confidence as he looks for a more permanent place on the Penguins’ 2016-17 roster.

“I want to stick and find my role within the team,” Sheary said. “Last year a lot of us younger guys got to do that, and play a big role on the team.”

Sheary was just one of several players who were called up from the American Hockey League to help lead Pittsburgh through injuries, including Bryan Rust, Derrick Pouliot and Matt Murray.

While in Wilkes-Barre, Sheary played alongside veteran right wing Tom Kostopoulos – and the WB/S captain had high praise for the youngster.

“Deep down I always knew he would make it to the NHL, but I didn’t realize he’d have such a big impact so soon,” Kostopoulos said of Sheary.

“It was awesome to see a Wilkes-Barre guy be such a key contributor in the playoffs.”

It wasn’t just Sheary’s playoff performance that caught Kostopoulos’ attention.

“He’s a little horse out there,” Kostopoulos laughed. “I love watching him.

I always try to tell other guys to watch him play because he just creates turnovers all the time, he’s on the puck, he always looks like he’s about to fall down and then he’s got full control. He’s fun to play with, that’s for sure.”

Fun seemed to be a common denominator in describing Sheary for AHL teammates Tom Sestito and Tom Kuhnhackl. continued on page 175

“He’s a fun guy,” Kuhnhackl said. “He’s always joking around and making us smile, especially in the morning when you’re tired and had a rough day. It’s good for the team.”

“He brings a little jump to the team,” Sestito agreed.

That ‘little jump’ helped Sheary become a leading force in the Penguins run for their fourth franchise Stanley Cup title.

But being a Stanley Cup champion doesn’t mean Sheary is ready to sit back and rest on his laurels.

“I think you always have something to prove,” Sheary said. “Nothing is ever guaranteed in this sport. You got to keep pushing forward and make sure that you don’t get too comfortable, and you just got to keep working every single day.”

Sheary’s work ethic and passion for hockey may have come from his older sister Courtney, who is beginning her first year as an assistant coach for Dartmouth’s women’s hockey team.

“I kind of always wanted to follow in her footsteps and do what she did. I think that’s what really got me into hockey,” Conor said of his middle sister. “When we were younger we used to go 1-on-1 a lot and I would try to beat her, but I think it made us both better.”

Once involved in the sport, there was no looking back.

“When I was really young I just always wanted to be on skates. I’d walk around the house in my skates and I couldn’t wait for the next practice,” Sheary said.

“I don’t know what it was, I just found my place.”

Conor After an impressive postseason SHEARY performance, Sheary may have also found his place in Pittsburgh.
