MARIO

LEMIEUX CO-OWNER/CHAIRMAN

Mario Lemieux, one of the most respected figures in National Hockey League history, is in his 13th season as co-owner and chairman of the board of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

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 a Stanley Cup championship in 2009.

The Penguins entered the 2011-12 season having sold out 210 straight games (and counting) while setting new standards for local television ratings, merchandise sales, website traffic and social media.

The ownership group also was proud to open the sparkling new CONSOL Energy Center last season — a state-of-the-art venue that was named Best NHL Arena in a survey of Sports Business Journal readers and was a finalist for Facility of the Year at the 2011 Sports Business Awards. Opening the doors of the arena in August, 2010, was the culmination of a 10-year quest by Lemieux and Burkle to ensure the long-term future of the Penguins in Pittsburgh.

“Le Magnifique” 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.

An immaculately 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).

MARIOLEMIEUX

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 — thereby 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 celebrity golf tournament, which has raised more than $8 million for charity. More information is available at mariolemieux.org.

Mario and his wife, Nathalie, and their four children live in Sewickley.

RON

BURKLE CO-OWNER

Ron Burkle, one of the preeminent investors in retail, manufacturing and distribution industries, is in his 13th 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 developed one of the most outstanding ownership groups in all of professional sports.

Among Burkle’s many significant contributions to the Penguins was his essential role in negotiations for a new arena. Burkle was proud to be on hand when the Penguins opened CONSOL Energy Center with their first regular season game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Oct. 7, 2010.

Under the leadership of Lemieux and Burkle, the Penguins have sold out every game for four-plus seasons and finished in the top 10 (out of 122 pro teams) in ESPN the Magazine’s “Ultimate Standings” in each of the past three years.

The Penguins reached the Stanley Cup Final back-to-back in 2008 and 2009 winning the Cup in 2009. The team’s financial strength has enabled hockey management to spend to the salary cap, sign the team’s young 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 and the Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy. He has received numerous awards, including the AFL-CIO’s Murray Green Meany Kirkland Community Service Award, the Los Angeles County Federation Man of the Year and the Los Angeles County Boy Scouts Jimmy Stewart Person of the Year award.

DAVID

MOREHOUSE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER & PRESIDENT

David Morehouse has quickly established himself as one of the most dynamic senior executives in the National Hockey League.

Since being named President of the Penguins in April, 2007, Morehouse has reshaped the team’s image and strategic vision with an emphasis on branding, fan relations, youth marketing, community interaction, corporate outreach and innovative technology.

He was given the additional responsibilities of Chief Executive Officer in September, 2010, and now oversees every aspect of the Penguins’ operations, reporting directly to co-owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle.

Under Morehouse’s leadership, the Penguins have become one of the premier franchises in all of professional sports — ranked in the top 10 out of 122 pro teams in each of the past three years in ESPN The Magazine’s “Ultimate Standings.”

The Penguins were named No. 3 overall out of 122 teams in Fan Relations in 2011. The team also was a finalist for Professional Sports Team of the Year at the 2011 Sports Business Awards, and the new CONSOL Energy Center was a finalist for Facility of the Year.

The Penguins have sold out every game for four-plus seasons — a streak that had reached 210 games before the start of the 2011-12 season. They also have sold out all suites for three-plus seasons and set new standards for local TV ratings, website traffic, merchandise sales and social media.

Morehouse himself was named 2011 CEO Communicator of the Year by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America.

The Pittsburgh native joined the Penguins in 2004 as Senior Consultant on the new arena project 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.

Morehouse 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 and his wife, Vanessa, have three children and live in Sewickley Heights.

RAY

SHERO EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER

Ray Shero, 49, is at the vanguard of the NHL’s new breed of general managers — steeped in family hockey tradition but on the cutting-edge of new technology and modernization in hockey operations, player relations and team management.

Shero was named GM of the Penguins in May, 2006, and his fresh ideas, family-friendly environment and calm but firm management style helped transform a franchise that did not qualify for the playoffs from 2002-06 into one that regularly challenges for the Stanley Cup — reaching the Final in 2008 and winning the Cup in 2009.

He’s been especially proactive in keeping the core of the team together, signing Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Marc-Andre Fleury, Jordan Staal, Brooks Orpik and Kris Letang, among others, to longterm contracts.

One of his most successful moves came behind the bench during the 2008-09 season, when he promoted Dan Bylsma to head coach on Feb. 15, 2009. Bylsma went on to lead the Penguins to the Stanley Cup in 2009 and then won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s “Most Outstanding Coach” in 2011.

Ray’s father, Fred, won two Stanley Cups as head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers in 1974-75, and the Sheros are one of the few father-son tandems to have their names on the Stanley Cup. Ray built his managerial style during 14 seasons as an NHL assistant general manager — six with the Ottawa Senators and eight with the Nashville Predators.

Shero played college hockey at St. Lawrence University, twice serving as team captain, and was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in 1982. He spent seven years as a player agent before making the move to the front office.

The native of St. Paul, Minn., is actively involved with USA Hockey and is a member of the USA Hockey National Team Advisory Group.

Ray and his wife, Karen, and their two sons reside in Upper St. Clair.

JASON

BOTTERILL ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER

Jason Botterill is in his third full season as assistant general manager after being promoted to his current position in May, 2009,

by GM Ray Shero.

As assistant GM, Botterill works closely with Shero on all hockey-related matters, including scouting, player development and contract negotiations. He also manages hockey operations and acts as GM for the club’s top minor-league affiliate, Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton of the American Hockey League.

Prior to his promotion, Botterill, 35, worked two seasons as director of hockey administration with the Penguins; his responsibilities included salary cap management, professional and amateur scouting and overseeing prospect development.

Botterill’s avant-garde approach and understanding of the salary cap has been a major asset for the Penguins. Before joining the Pittsburgh organization, he worked with NHL Central Registry and also scouted for the Dallas Stars.

Botterill was a first-round draft pick (20th overall) by Dallas in 1994 and played 88 NHL games over six seasons with Dallas, Atlanta, Calgary and Buffalo. He also played 393 career games in the AHL and IHL, recording 127 goals and 257 points.

A native of Edmonton who grew up in Winnipeg, Botterill played four seasons at the University of Michigan and helped lead the Wolverines to the NCAA title in 1996. He also played for Team Canada at the World Junior Championships in 1994, 1995 and 1996 and won gold medals in all three tournaments.

Following his playing career, he returned to the University of Michigan to earn his MBA. He resides in Pittsburgh with his wife, Andrea.

DAN

BYLSMA HEAD COACH

Dan Bylsma has already become one of the most successful coaches in Penguins’ history, leading the team to a Stanley Cup title and winning the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s “Most Outstanding Coach” in just two-plus years behind the bench.

With Pittsburgh, Bylsma has recorded back-to-back 100-point seasons, has the best regular-season winning percentage (.653) in team history and is the winningest playoff coach in franchise history with 26 playoff victories and five (tied-Scotty Bowman) series victories. All-time under Bylsma, the Penguins boast a 114-56-19 regular season record, making him the third-winningest coach in team history. He is also the fifthfastest head coach in NHL history to hit the 100-win mark (163 games).

Bylsma, who signed a three-year contract extension through the 2013-14 season, won the 2011 Jack Adams Award after a masterful coaching performance last year, steering the injury-depleted Penguins to a 49-25-8 record for 106 points (the 49 wins and 106 points both rank second in franchise history) and tied Philadelphia in points for the Atlantic Division title. The Penguins were in contention for the conference and division titles heading into the final weekend of the regular season despite the fact that the team suffered 350 man-games lost — including 119 games to the team’s three best players: Sidney Crosby (41 games); Evgeni Malkin (39); and Jordan Staal (39).

Bylsma also directed the Penguins to a 12-game winning streak, tying for second-best in franchise history, and a 15-game unbeaten streak. Pittsburgh posted a 24-11-6 road record for 54 points. The team’s 54 road points are a new franchise record, while its 24 road wins tie for the team record (1992-93).

In 2009-10 Bylsma completed his first full NHL season behind the bench for Pittsburgh, leading the club to a 47-28-7 record for 101 points and finishing only two points behind New Jersey for the Atlantic Division title. Under Bylsma’s leadership the Penguins set many milestones during the season, including tying a team record with seven straight road victories, becoming the second-fastest team in franchise history to 40

28

wins (66 games) and totaling the fourth-most wins (tied) in a season (47).

Bylsma began the 2008-09 season with the first head coaching assignment of his career — with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League. He ended it by hoisting the Stanley Cup. In between, Bylsma authored one of the most spectacular coaching stories in the history of professional hockey.

The Grand Haven, Mich. native was promoted to Pittsburgh on Feb. 15, 2009, and took over a club that was 10th overall in the Eastern Conference standings and facing questions as to whether a playoff berth was even a practical option. But he accepted the challenge with his trademark optimism, passion and raw determination.

Unleashing a swift, skilled team that was built to go on the attack, imploring his players to “play on their toes, not on their heels,” Bylsma led the Penguins to an 18-3-4 record in 25 games, rising from 10th place to fourth in the conference and garnering not only a playoff spot, but home-ice advantage in the first round.

In the playoffs, Bylsma’s team showed a steely resolve, clinching all four series on the road and twice rallying from 2-0 series deficits (against Washington in the second round and Detroit in the Stanley Cup Final). The Penguins beat the defending champion Red Wings four times in the last five games to claim the Cup, including a nerve-racking Game Seven at Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena and became the first team in professional sports since 1979 to win Game Seven of a championship round on the road.

In the process Bylsma became the 14th rookie head coach, and just the fourth in the past 50 years, to capture the Stanley Cup. Of those 14, only Montreal’s Al MacNeil (1970-71) took over mid-season.

Bylsma played nine NHL seasons as a right winger with Los Angeles and Anaheim from 1995-2004. He played 429 NHL regular season games, recording 19 goals and 62 points, and also played in the 2003 Stanley Cup Final with Anaheim.

He began his coaching career as an assistant with the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks of the AHL in 2004-05 and made his NHL coaching debut as an assistant with the New York Islanders in 2005-06.

Bylsma was an assistant coach at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for two seasons from 2006-08 and was named head coach at the start of the 2008-09 season. He went 35-16-1-2 in 54 games with WB/S before being promoted to Pittsburgh.

He played four seasons of college hockey at Bowling Green.

Dan and his wife, Mary Beth, have one son, Bryan, and reside in the North Hills.

TONY

GRANATO ASSISTANT COACH

Tony Granato is in his third season on the Penguins’ coaching staff.

Granato, among his many responsibilities, works with the Penguins’ forwards and penalty killing units. He oversaw the NHL’s No. 1-ranked penalty killing group with an 86.1-percent success rate in 2010-11.

Prior to joining the Penguins, Granato spent six seasons behind the bench for the Colorado Avalanche and served two stints as Avalanche head coach from 2002-04 and 2008-09. Granato compiled a 104-78-17-16 record and led Colorado to a Northwest Division title in 2003.

Granato, 46, joined the Avalanche organization in June, 2002, as an assistant coach. He was elevated to head coach on Dec. 18, 2002 and led the club to a 32-11-4-4 mark en route to its ninth consecutive division title.

The following season Granato steered the Avalanche to a 40-22-13-7 finish and an appearance in the Western Conference semifinals.

The Downers Grove, Illinois native served as an assistant coach for the Avalanche from 2005-08. Granato was promoted to his second tenure as the club’s head coach in 2008-09 and oversaw the development of a young Colorado team.

Granato played 13 seasons in the NHL with the NY Rangers (1988-90), Los Angeles (1990-96) and San Jose (1996-2001). In 1997, he played in the NHL All-Star Game and was the recipient of the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for overcoming a near career-ending brain injury. In 773 career games, the feisty forward posted 248 goals, 492 points and 1,425 penalty minutes. He tallied 16 goals, 43 points and 141 penalty minutes in 79 career postseason games and helped lead Los Angeles to a Stanley Cup Final berth in 1993.

Granato played four years at the University of Wisconsin and was inducted into the Badgers’ Hall of Fame in 2000. Granato also played for the U.S. National team in 1987-88 and represented his country in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary.

Tony and his wife, Linda, are the parents of four children and reside in the South Hills.

TODD

REIRDEN ASSISTANT COACH

Todd Reirden is in his second season as an assistant coach with the Penguins, joining Pittsburgh’s coaching staff on July 31, 2010 after coaching with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins the previous two seasons.

Reirden, an NHL blueliner for parts of five seasons, works closely with the team’s defensemen. Under his guidance the Penguins defense ranked sixth (tied) in the NHL in 2010-11 in goals-against average (2.39) and surrendered only 196 goals (a 39-goal improvement from 2009-10).

Reirden, 39, completed his first full season as WB/S head coach in 2009-10, leading a young and inexperienced team to an impressive 41-34-2-3 record, finishing third in the East Division, and earning a berth in the Calder Cup playoffs.

Reirden joined the Penguins organization August 18, 2008 as an assistant coach in WB/S. A few months later he was promoted to interim head coach following Dan Bylsma’s promotion to Pittsburgh in February 2009. Reirden guided WB/S to a 14-9-3 mark in the final 26 games, and advanced to the second round of the AHL playoffs. Reirden then joined Pittsburgh’s extended playoff coaching staff and helped the team win the Stanley Cup championship in 2009.

Prior to joining the Penguins organization, Reirden spent one season as an assistant coach with the Bowling Green Falcons (CCHA) — his alma mater. He was a teammate of Bylsma’s during the 1990-91 and 1991-92 seasons at Bowling Green.

Selected by New Jersey in the 12th round (242nd overall) of the 1990 NHL Draft, Reirden played professionally for 13 seasons, retiring after the 2006-07 campaign with Graz EC of the Austrian Hockey League.

He appeared in 183 NHL games with Edmonton, St. Louis, Atlanta and Phoenix, recording 46 points (11G-35A) and 181 penalty minutes.

Todd and his wife, Shelby, have one son.

MELOCHE GOALTENDING COACH

Former NHL goaltender Gilles Meloche is in his sixth season as the Penguins’ full-time goaltending coach and 26th overall with the organization, winning three Stanley Cups with the franchise.

Meloche has been instrumental in the development of Marc-Andre Fleury into a Stanley Cup-winning netminder.

Meloche, 60, served as a Penguins scout from 1989-2006 and also doubled as a goaltending coach/consultant during much of that time.

He was part of the staff when the Penguins won Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992.

A native of Montreal, Quebec, Meloche spent 18 seasons as an NHL goaltender with Chicago, California, Cleveland, Minnesota and Pittsburgh. He played the final three seasons of his career in Pittsburgh following a 1985 trade.

Meloche appeared in 788 NHL games during his career, posting a record of 270-351-131 with a 3.64 goals-against average.

In 45 career playoff games, he posted a 21-19 record and a 3.48 goals-against average.

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 36th season with the Penguins, handling radio play-by-play on the club’s flagship station, 105.9 FM “The X”.

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 eighth 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.

BOB GROVE STUDIO HOST — PENGUINS RADIO NETWORK

After a 17-year career as the Penguins beat writer for the Washington Observer-Reporter, Bob Grove joined the team’s radio broadcasts in 1998 as a frequent studio host/co-host and is now in his seventh season as full-time host of the pre- and post-game broadcasts and intermissions on the Penguins Hockey Network.

Grove wrote Pittsburgh Penguins: The Official History of the First 30 Years in 1997 and has contributed game notes to GOAL Magazine inserts or Icetime programs for every Pittsburgh home game since 1986. He was also a contributor to the second edition of Total Hockey and to The Game I’ll Never Forget. He is a senior writer covering hockey for the Pittsburgh Sports Report and also hosts “Bob Grove’s Hot Stove” on Penguins Radio 24/7.

STEVE MEARS PENGUINS RADIO 24/7 HOST/PENGUINS RADIO NETWORK

Steve Mears is in his third season as a member of the Penguins Radio Network team. In addition to his work on the Penguins’ radio and TV game broadcasts, he serves as the lead host of “Penguins Live” on Penguins Radio 24/7 and is also a contributor to PensTV at pittsburghpenguins.com.

Mears came to the Penguins in September of 2009 after spending three seasons as the radio play-by-play voice of the New York Islanders. Prior to his time in New York, he spent four seasons as the director of media relations and broadcasting for the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs of the Central Hockey League. In 2005, he was named “CHL Broadcaster of the Year.” In addition to his radio work, he has also done various game broadcasts for Leafs TV and MSG television networks.

A graduate of Franklin Regional High School, Mears grew up in Murrysville, PA and earned a degree in broadcasting from Bowling Green State University in 2002 while serving as the play-by-play voice of the BGSU Falcons. He currently resides in Pittsburgh.

RULES OF THE GAME PRESENTED BY

BOARDING NEW NHL RULE CHANGE FOR 2011.12 BOARDING

To check or push a defenseless opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to hit or impact into the boards dangerously or violently.

-

The player applying the check needs to ensure his opponent is not in a defenseless position and if so, must avoid contact.

-

The player with the puck needs to avoid placing himself in a dangerous and defenseless position.

-

Any unnecessary contact with a player playing the puck on an obvious “icing” or “off-sides” play that does not impact boards should be treated as “charging.”

DELAY OF GAME A player may be penalized when, in the opinion of the Referee, is delaying the game in any matter. (Normally six conditions) 1.) Player or goaltender intentionally shoots or throws the puck out

of the playing area.

2.) A defensive player or goaltender in the defensive zone shoots

the puck directly (without being deflected) over the glass.

3.) A player or goaltender intentionally knocks the net’s goalpost off

its moorings, which stops the play.

4.) The goaltender plays the puck out of the trapezoid behind the net.

5.) The goaltender freezes the puck rather than passing it to a

teammate when no player on the opposing team is within sufficient distance to apply offensive pressure.

6.) Any skater other than the goaltender who uses their hands to

make the puck unplayable.

INTERFERENCE INTERFERENCE

BODY POSITION: Body position will be determined as the player skating in front of or beside his opponent, traveling in the same direction.

- A player who is behind an opponent, who does not have the puck, may not use his stick, body or free hand in order to restrain his opponent.

POSSESSION OF THE PUCK: The last player to touch the puck, other than the goaltenders, will be considered the player in possession.

RESTRAIN: The actions of a player or goaltender who does not have body position, but instead uses illegal means to impede an opponent who is not in possession of the puck.

PICK: The action of a player or goaltender who checks an opponent who is not in possession of the puck and is unaware of the impending check/hit.

FREE HAND: When a free hand is used to hold, pull, tug, grab or physically restrain an opponent from moving freely, this must be penalized as holding.

STICK: A player who does not have body position on his opponent, who used his stick to impede or prevent his opponent from moving freely on the ice shall be assessed a hooking penalty.

OFF-SIDES Players of the attacking team must not precede the puck into the attacking zone. (Two determining factors) 1.) One of a player’s skates is not in contact with or behind the blue

line of the attacking zone before the puck enters that zone.

2.) The puck must completely cross the edge of the blue line nearest

the attacking zone to be considered inside the attacking zone.

The act of using the stick in a manner that enables a player to restrain an opponent.

-

When a player is checking another in such a way that there is only stick-to-stick contact, such action is not to be penalized as hooking.

The Goalie mask, which is 9.5 feet high by 8 feet wide by 12 feet deep and weighs in between 700-800 lbs, features the celebration of fans and players after a goal is scored. The materials used to construct the mask are protected by a high-performance polyurethane coating containing raw materials produced by Bayer MaterialScience.

This basecoat serves as the foundation for both the white background and the artist’s colors. A final polyurethane clearcoat over the artwork provides additional protection and durability.

JOIN THE RUSH!

TM

Introduced in the mid 1990’s, the American Eagle Student Rush Program is one of the most popular and well known marketing initiatives of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Designed to sell remaining game-day inventory, the American Eagle Student Rush program provides the Pittsburgh Penguins an opportunity to introduce new fans to the game of hockey at a discounted rate.

Based upon the positive feedback the organization has received from current season ticket holders who were one-time Student Rush participants, the program has been successful in developing a long-term relationship with young, active Pittsburghers.

During the 2011-12 season, at least 200 American Eagle Student Rush tickets will be made available for each regular season home game at CONSOL Energy Center. To avoid long waits outside during the winter months, the organization will host online pre-sales for most games. To receive pre-sale information, students can text “RUSH” to 32623 to register for the American Eagle Student Rush Mobile Club. Each pre-game text includes the opportunity to win two free tickets to the next home game!

In addition to the 200 tickets offered each game, five special Student Rush nights will be held. At least 500 student rush tickets will be available for these select games at the American Eagle Gate. Music, prizes and giveaways will also be provided courtesy of American Eagle Outfitters. The special nights include:

• Thursday, October 20 vs. Montreal Canadiens – 7:00 pm • Tuesday, November 15 vs. Colorado Avalanche – 7:30 pm • Wednesday, February 15 vs. Anaheim Ducks – 7:00 pm • Friday, March 9 vs. Florida Panthers – 7:00 pm • Tuesday, March 27 vs. New York Islanders – 7:00 pm For more on the American Eagle Student Rush program, please visit www.pittsburghpenguins.com/studentrush

GAME NOTES By: Bob Grove

Last season, Pascal Dupuis led the Penguins in scoring in the series against Buffalo, along with Dustin Jeffrey and Zbynek Michalek registering three points a piece.

THE SERIES Tonight the Penguins conclude their three-game homestand against the Buffalo Sabres, resuming a series Pittsburgh has dominated recently. The Penguins have won six straight games against Buffalo and eight of their last nine, the only loss in that span coming Dec. 29, 2009 at Buffalo (3-4). The six-game winning streak is the longest in Penguins’ history against Buffalo. . . Pittsburgh has also won four straight home games against the Sabres and seven of the last eight. A victory tonight would enable the Penguins to match their longest home win streak against the Sabres, accomplished twice — most recently from Feb. 29, 1992 to Feb. 26, 1994. . . The Sabres’ longest winning streak against the Penguins is five games. . .

This series, however, has been very close in terms of margin of victory. Ten of the last 11 games between Pittsburgh and Buffalo have been decided by a single goal. . . The Penguins are 13-3-0 in their last 16 games against Buffalo — and each loss has been by a single goal. . . Nine of the last 14 games between the teams played here in Pittsburgh have been decided by one goal or finished in a tie . . . Last season, the Penguins went 0-for-20 on the power play against continued on page 85

Dustin Jeffrey, Pascal Dupuis and Zbynek Michalek led the Penguins in scoring in the series last season, each registering three points. . .

Former Penguin Jordan Leopold, Tyler Myers and Jason Pominville were each minus-5 in the series against Pittsburgh last season. . .

Cranberry native Mike Weber played in all four games and was even . . . Ryan Miller has started nine of the last 10 Buffalo games played in Pittsburgh. . . The Penguins are 71-58-35-2 all-time against Buffalo, including a record of 44-20-18-1 here at home. . . The teams’ next meeting is here Dec. 17.

Kris Letang shared the NHL scoring lead after recording five points (1+4) in the Penguins’ first three games.

THE PENGUINS Pittsburgh opened this homestand with games against Florida on Tuesday — its first home opener ever against the Panthers — and Washington on Thursday. The Penguins return to the road Monday night in Winnipeg and then play in Minnesota on Tuesday. The game in Winnipeg will be the Penguins’ first there since Feb. 16, 1996, when Tom Barrasso made 32 saves in a 1-0 victory. . . Kris Letang shared the NHL scoring lead after recording five points (1+4) in the Penguins’ first three games, scoring his first goal of the season in a 2-1 shootout loss in Edmonton last Sunday night. . . The loss to the Oilers was the first shootout loss by Pittsburgh since a 3-2 defeat last Feb. 20 in Chicago.

It was the first shootout ever between the Penguins and Oilers and snapped a seven-game shootout win streak by Pittsburgh. . . Evgeni continued on page 86

Malkin missed the game in Edmonton with lower-body soreness but was hoping to return to the lineup this week. So, too, was defenseman Brooks Orpik, who missed the first three games while continuing to rehab after July hernia surgery. . . Steve Sullivan set up Letang’s goal in Edmonton, earning his first point in a Pittsburgh uniform. . . Jordan Staal recorded his 200th NHL point in a 5-3 win at Calgary one week ago tonight. . . Brent Johnson, who made 34 saves in the loss to the Oilers, has allowed two or fewer goals in nine of his last 11 starts. . .

Matt Niskanen tied a career high with six shots in the win over Calgary.

Buffalo got off to a 2-0 start with victories in Europe as part of the NHL Premiere. The Sabres beat Anaheim, 4-1, in Helsinki and then defeated Los Angeles, 4-2, in Berlin. After five days off, the Sabres hosted Carolina last night. . . This game starts a four-game road trip for Buffalo, which plays in Montreal on Tuesday, in Florida on Thursday and in Tampa Bay one week from tonight. . . Tomas Vanek had two goals and five points in the first two games, during which he took 10 shots. . . Luke Adam had a pair of goals in the win over the Kings. . .

Christian Ehrhoff, one of the new faces for coach Lindy Ruff, averaged 24:16 of ice time in the first two games while Leopold averaged 24:07 . . . Ruff is the longest-tenured coach in the NHL, having stepped behind the Buffalo bench in the fall of 1997. He and legendary Toe Blake are the only coaches to win 500 games with one team.

ABOVE-AVERAGE JOE Penguins center Joe Vitale got his first taste of the National Hockey League last season, playing nine games with Pittsburgh in February.

Vitale thoroughly impressed the coaching staff during his first stint with the parent club with his speed, ability to kill penalties and faceoff prowess — and the confidence he gleaned from that experience resulted in a changed mentality heading into this year’s training camp.

“I came into camp this year with a completely different attitude than I did the previous two years,” Vitale said. “I remember just being so nervous the first two years. I’m nervous now, but the nerves definitely have settled down quite a bit.

“You feel more comfortable, a little more confident around the guys in the room. That’s where it starts. Then on the ice, it kind of carries over from there.”

Vitale, 26, went on to have a fantastic preseason, playing in a team-leading five of six Penguins exhibition games. And because of his strong showing, Vitale earned a spot on the Penguins’ opening-night roster.

“Joey Vitale had an outstanding camp,” head coach Dan Bylsma said. “He came out here trying to make a hockey team and was excellent almost every day.”

Vitale, a seventh-round pick [195th overall] of the Penguins in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, played the last two-plus seasons with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

He recorded 66 points (17G-49A) in 139 career Joe Vitale played the last two-plus seasons contests while adding eight with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

points (3G-5A) in 15 playoff games.

Vitale is a smart, defensively reliable forward whose speed is his strongest asset and allows him to be a factor in whatever role he plays. He has since moved up to center Matt Cooke and Pascal Dupuis on the third line.

“I think that’s a good skating line. It can put a lot of pressure on teams. It can be a responsible checking line against another team’s top line,” Bylsma explained. “Joe’s been good in the faceoff circle and responsible. As a third line, checking, energy line, they’ve been able to provide it physically and speed-wise, as well as a responsibility to play the right way.”

And not only does Vitale have wheels, but he can win draws.

Vitale ranked among the NHL’s leaders in number of faceoffs taken and percentage won as of Oct. 11.

His combined 59.5-percent success rate paced all Penguins centers.

Vitale is starting off the season on the third line centering Pascal Dupuis and Matt Cooke.

“Joey V. last year won 63 percent of his draws,” Bylsma said. “He’s been very good in Wilkes-Barre with his draws and percentage there. It’s something he can come in and do and be a factor. It’s something he can make a statement with.”

Faceoffs are something that Vitale puts a lot of work into, working closely with Penguins assistant coach Tony Granato — who oversees the Penguins’ forwards and last year’s top-ranked penalty kill unit — to make sure he’s fully prepared heading into games. continued on page 98

97

continued from page 97

“I’ll do some things in practice and I’ll do some things off the ice as far as getting my hand-eye coordination down and my timing down,” Vitale said. “But really, Tony Granato has helped me a lot with that, not just the techniques of it but knowing your opponent and kind of knowing their strengths and kind of playing towards their weaknesses,” Vitale said.

“Tony, in the scouting of the other centermen, has helped me go into draws more prepared for these games. We talk about the guys I’m going to be facing that night in the morning. So that kind of gives me an overview of kind of what to expect from them and that helps me.”

As of Oct. 11, Vitale ranked among the NHL’s leaders in number of faceoffs taken and percentage won.

Vitale couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity he has right now, saying he just wants to continue “sticking to doing what I do well” each and every day.

“If I continue to do those things, I give myself the best chance not only to be here, but for the team to win as far as being strong on faceoffs right off the bat, having a good penalty kill game and being structured,” he said.

“I think the biggest thing probably for me is just playing with pace, playing with speed, kind of pushing the pace for the team.

Moving the puck north and kind of do things like add grittiness and physicality to the lineup. Hopefully I can do those things and be in good shape.”

I feel

.

Ask a grieving child how they’re feeling and you may get a lot of answers.

Or none at all. For many, finding the words to express their feelings can be difficult. But while finding the right words may not be easy, finding the right place to turn to for help can be. At the Caring Place, we’re here when grieving children need someone to listen, to talk, or to just sit and be. For more information about one of our peer support groups or to volunteer, call us today.

LITTLE PENGUINS LEARN TO PLAY HOCKEY Sidney Crosby and his family wanted to help parents introduce their kids to the game of hockey — and to do it without having to incur a prohibitive up-front cost.

The result is the Little Penguins Learn to Play Hockey program — a tremendous, one-of-a-kind opportunity for kids aged 4-7 to receive free head-to-toe hockey equipment and 10 sessions of on-ice instruction.

The 2011-12 season will be the fourth consecutive year for the Little Penguins program, which continues to grow. Last season twenty-one rinks hosted the program and four girls-only locations were added. This season, even more rinks will serve as Little Penguins partners!

Since the program began, over 2,000 youngsters have received equipment and learned to play hockey. This season another 1,000 kids will have the opportunity to receive free gear and learn the game. Thanks to the combined efforts of Crosby, the Penguins, Reebok and Dick’s Sporting Goods, all participants receive full sets of Reebok SC87 Crosby-endorsed equipment, including skates, stick, helmet, gloves, pants, shoulder pads, shin pads, elbow pads and an equipment bag, as well as an official Little Penguins jersey and Little Penguins helmet stickers.

After a high profile promotional period early in the season, the program sells out quickly when registration takes place online.

During this promotion, parents may view information regarding participating rinks, starting dates, and times of instructional sessions, which are listed on the Penguins’ website prior to the registration date.

“We were both excited and amazed by the reaction to the Little Penguins program in previous seasons, and we’re happy to be able

128

to offer the program again for another year,” Crosby said. “The goal is to continue to create opportunities for more kids in the Pittsburgh area to take up hockey. With the Little Penguins program, they can receive head-to-toe hockey equipment and learn the game in a fun and organized way.”

“It’s a tribute to Sid and his family that they want to reach out and create this incredible opportunity for children in the Pittsburgh area,” said Penguins CEO and president David Morehouse. “One of their goals was to help parents by providing free head-to-toe hockey equipment to properly equip their children. The Penguins are honored to join Reebok and Dick’s Sporting Goods in supporting Sid and this great program.”

Local rinks participating in the program this year include the Airport Ice Arena in Moon Township, the Belmont Ice Complex in Kittanning, the Bladerunners Ice Arenas in Bethel Park, Harmarville and Warrendale, Center Ice Arena in Delmont, Galactic Ice in Altoona, the Hess Ice Arena in New Castle, the Ice Castle in Castle Shannon, Iceoplex at Southpointe, the Ice Connection in Valencia, the Ice Garden-Rostraver in Belle Vernon, the Ice Mine in Connellsville, the Ice Zone in Youngstown, Kirk-Nevin Ice Arena in Greensburg, the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center, the Morgantown Municipal Ice Arena, the North Central Recreation Center in Ebensburg, the RMU Island Sports Center on Neville Island, the S&T Bank Arena in Indiana, the Valley Sports arena in New Kensington and Wheeling Park.

ICEBURGH A delight for children of all ages, Iceburgh — the official mascot of the Pittsburgh Penguins not only provides fans with exciting game entertainment but this large, energetic bird can also be seen at a multitude of community events and elementary schools throughout the greater Pittsburgh area.

Iceburgh arrived on the scene in 1992 and is a staple at all team events.

During Penguins’ home games, fans most definitely notice the antics of Iceburgh leading sections of fans in cheers, greeting young children on the concourse or displaying his athleticism on-ice between periods.

In 1995, Iceburgh made his Hollywood debut, starring alongside Jean Claude Van Damme in the motion picture “Sudden Death.” He has gained both national and international exposure through film, TV and a variety of personal appearances.

Iceburgh wasted no time getting acquainted with his new home at CONSOL Energy Center in September of 2010. You can find Iceburgh sliding down stair banisters, dancing in the stands and tossing t-shirts to fans.

Iceburgh has performed in Russia and Japan, was featured in the opening of ESPN’s SportsCenter and recently performed in front of a record crowd of over 68,000 at Heinz Field for the 2011 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic. He is also regularly featured on in-game videos and has appeared in advertisements and television promos on ROOT Sports. In addition to his annual trek to the NHL All-Star Game, Iceburgh makes annual appearances at the Mascot Olympics held in Orlando, FL. If you would like to request an Iceburgh appearance at your next event, please complete the online form by visiting the community section of pittsburghpenguins.com.

COMMUNITY UPDATE FREE GAME FOR KIDS MAKES LASTING MEMORIES FOR FAMILIES By: Juliet Del Signore

Never before has CONSOL Energy Center hosted such an energetic and enthusiastic crowd as they did during the Penguins’ preseason match up against the Minnesota Wild on September 24th. For the promotion known as Free Game for Kids, the Pittsburgh Penguins distributed 18,000 tickets to area youth to thank them for their support. Tickets were distributed to local youth hockey organizations and a number of local charities that serve children.

In addition, the Penguins reserved one of their finest suites for 16 young Penguins fans and their families from Autism Speaks, Make-AWish Foundation of Greater PA and Southern WV and The Children’s Institute. Aside from a great view of the game, they also received a gift bag to take home and their very own surprise visit from Iceburgh, the Penguins’ mascot.

The Free Game for Kids event gave the Pittsburgh Penguins organization a chance to make a difference in the lives of some of their youngest fans through their partnerships with local charities.

Marketing/Communications coordinator at Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater PA and Southern WV, Dana Antkowiak, stated, “Our partnership with the Penguins gives the children a chance to forget about their illnesses and take part in some great fun with other kids who share their love of hockey.

Our Wish kids enjoy these experiences immensely — their smiles say it all.”

The party suite provided an opportunity for families to have a “game day” experience together and put all other things temporarily out of their minds.

“This is an amazing experience for our family because if it wasn’t for the Penguins organization it wouldn’t be possible to come to a game together as a family,” said Billie Jo Robinson, mother of one of the Wish children.

Needless to say, a wonderful time was had by all.

ALMOST HEAVEN? HOCKEY’S IT FOR LEGURSKY By: Mike Prisuta

Doug Legursky was born in Germany and grew up in West Virginia, and he never really had much exposure to or interest in the sport of hockey while attending Woodrow Wilson High School in Beckley, W. Va., or Marshall University in Huntington.

But all of that changed in a hurry once Legursky hooked on with the Steelers in 2008.

“Growing up in West Virginia, we didn’t have hockey,” he explained. “Nobody really watches it. Nobody in school plays it. It’s just not a sport that we have in West Virginia.

“But coming up here and pretty much getting a crash course in a hockey city was pretty cool. I really got introduced to the game when I came up here and I became a really big fan. The Penguins are a great team and they bring a lot of enthusiasm every time they enter onto the ice.

“It’s amazing to watch them play and see how much the city roots for them. Everybody watches hockey just as much as they watch the Steelers, it feels like. Since I’ve been here I’ve been a big fan.”

Legursky’s football career has taken off in recent seasons, as well.

He first arrived in Pittsburgh as an undrafted rookie and his first association with the Steelers was as a member of the practice squad.

Last February Legursky started at center for an injured Maurkice Pouncey in Super Bowl XLV after starting four regular-season games at right guard. continued on page 156

continued from page 155

This year Legursky opened the season as the Steelers’ starter at right guard and has also started at left guard.

He even plays fullback on occasion ~ DOUG LEGURSKY in the short-yardage or goal-line offense.

At 6-foot-1 and 315 pounds and as a former 2003 state weightlifting champion in West Virginia, Legursky is right at home in the NFL’s trenches.

So naturally he has a keen appreciation for the contact and collisions generated on a nightly basis in the NHL. But Doug Legursky the hockey fan is about more than that.

“It’s definitely nice when somebody gets checked into the boards, definitely that part of it really intrigues me,” he said. “But I mostly like it because I just like it. Hockey is just a good sport to watch and the Penguins are a good team to watch.

“It’s just an exciting sport once you figure out what’s going on.

When you first look at it it’s just a bunch of guys on the ice. But once you learn the sport it’s exciting, it’s a lot of fun.

“I’m still learning, really, but I have a bunch of guys around me that fill me in on things.”

Steelers players have become regulars at Penguins games, especially playoff games, in recent seasons. And general manager Kevin Colbert is a Penguins season-ticket holder.

Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma, conversely, has visited Steelers training camp at St. Vincent College in Latrobe and has made his way into Heinz Field on game day.

Legursky has yet to experience a game at either Mellon Arena or the CONSOL Energy Center in person. But he’s looking forward to doing so sooner rather than later.

“THE PENGUINS ARE A GREAT TEAM AND THEY BRING A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM EVERY TIME THEY ENTER ONTO THE ICE.”

“Me and Pouncey and a couple of the guys have been talking about making it to more games this season,” Legursky said. “We’ll be excited about that.

“Pouncey said he wants to go when ‘Sid the Kid’ is playing. I said I’d go with him. I like Sid, he’s an exciting player.

I like them all, though, they’re all good guys.”

As big a fan as he’s become, Legursky’s fascination with the sport of hockey stops at Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma, has visited Steelers watching it. training camp at St. Vincent College in Latrobe and attended games at Heinz Field.

Although he might just revolutionize the role of slot-clearing defenseman given his physical skill set and football background, there are no plans to try his luck with pucks any time soon.

Legursky might be able to identify the “Mike” linebacker and pull with the best of them while leading a running back through a hole, but he can’t skate.

“I’ve tried it before and it was ugly,” Legursky admitted. “I’d be alright on roller blades, but as soon as you put me on the ice I’d be in trouble.”

He’ll settle for appreciating Pittsburgh’s sports scene as he does now, as a member of one of the city’s three professional teams and a big fan of the other two.

“Being in Pittsburgh, I also enjoy watching the Pirates, of course,” he said. “It’s a great football city, a great hockey city and a great baseball city.”

OFF-ICE WITH BRENT JOHNSON WHERE YOU FROM? I am originally from Farmington Hills, Michigan.

It’s about a five-hour drive west of Pittsburgh. Right now I live in Arlington, Virginia, which is a four-hour drive southeast of Pittsburgh.

WHO WAS YOUR IDOL GROWING UP? My idol was my grandfather

[Hall of Famer Sid Abel] and my father [former pro goalie Bob Johnson] both. My grandfather when I was younger, because he used to take me to the rinks with him all the time. Then my father, because he was a goalie. As soon I turned into a goalie, in that position I idolized my father.

WHAT’S THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE EVER BEEN GIVEN? As a

goalie, my grandfather would always say, “Keep your dobber up,” which means don’t let much get to you. Because in this position, if you don’t have a short memory, things can go bad very quickly.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SPORT TO PLAY OTHER THAN HOCKEY? Definitely golf, because it’s just you against everyone. It’s

actually you against yourself, and you can call penalties on yourself, which is fantastic. It shows a lot of character, I think, that people are very honest about the game.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE? That’s too tough. I have many,

many favorites. I guess I’d have to do one for every genre. My favorite scary movie would be Halloween (the first one). My favorite drama would be Legends of the Fall. And for comedy, going back to the 80s here, maybe Tootsie.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE FOOD? Definitely pasta. Any type of pasta or pizza, depending on how many days before a game I can eat it.

WHAT’S THE BEST MEAL YOU CAN PERSONALLY COOK? I can

cook great fondue, but that’s really simple. All you do is just throw it in, but I love that.

IF YOU COULD HAVE AN ENTRANCE SONG, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Metallica’s “One.” That is my go to. Or it’s also called “Promontory” from the movie Last of the Mohicans. That one gets you fired up.

160

WHO WOULD YOUR ULTIMATE GOLF FOURSOME BE? If I can make a fivesome or a sixsome, I’d do maybe just like the Rat Pack or something like that. I mean, I think that playing golf with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. or Dean Martin — I think those three guys would be up there.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE OFF-ICE ACTIVITY? Being with my baby daughter Everly. She’s six months old now and she brightens up every part of my day.

WHY DO YOU WEAR NUMBER 1? I wore 35 when I came into the league, and then I don’t remember where I went, but I couldn’t get 35. So I went to 1, had a great year and stuck with it.

And my dad was number 1, as well.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PREGAME RITUALS OR THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO DO? The list

is long. I put on everything on my left side first, but this has become just a life ritual so I do that every day. I look at the [pregame countdown] clock in the room — this is really weird — at 6:12, at 4:35, at 4:12, at 3:36, 3:12 and then at 2:37 is when I go out on the ice. I look at that because 435, 336, 237 all equal 12, and that’s my favorite number. That’s my grandfather’s number.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT GAME DAY?

Just jumping on the ice to either the home or away crowd.

Sometimes you’re a little amped up when you’re at home, you’ve got the whole crowd cheering for you. And every pregame ritual that I have.

I WOULD NOT BE WHERE I AM HERE TODAY WITHOUT…

The help of my mom and dad.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

GRANT JENNINGS By: Jason Seidling

Say the words ‘The Trade’ to any long-time Penguins fan and he or she will undoubtedly know the transaction you are referencing — Craig Patrick’s 1991 blockbuster deal with the Hartford Whalers that brought three missing links to Pittsburgh’s Stanley Cup puzzle.

Sure, everyone easily remembers Patrick adding Ron Francis and Ulf Samuelsson — which isn’t surprising when you add a pair of franchise icons like they turned out to be. What sometimes gets forgotten is that the third player acquired on March 4, 1991 — defenseman Grant Jennings — was pretty valuable himself.

Jennings might not have been the flashiest performer on a team laden with offensive firepower, but putting pucks into the back of the net wasn’t what the Penguins expected from Jennings. Instead they needed a physical edge and a defensive-minded presence to help balance out their defensive corps — which is exactly what Jennings provided.

Jennings played parts of five seasons with the Penguins from 1991-95, appearing in 210 regular-season games and 38 playoffs contests while helping the team win back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 1991 and ’92 before being traded to Toronto on April 7, 1995 in exchange for Drake Berehowsky.

Now 46, Jennings resides in Anchorage, Alaska, where he has spent the past nine years working as an aircraft repairman for an oil company. Jennings logs 12-hour shifts for 14 days straight, doing mechanical work on Boeing jets.

Jennings sat down with us earlier this summer when he returned to town for a golf tournament reuniting the ’91 squad:

164

WHAT WAS IT ABOUT THAT 1991 TEAM THAT MADE IT SUCH A SPECIAL GROUP? Badger [head coach Bob Johnson] made it special

for sure. Just the way he coached, he was always so upbeat and so calm. We just jelled and started winning right away. I think we gained a lot of confidence as we upset teams [in the playoffs].

CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW IT SEEMED AS THOUGH EVERY GUY ON THE TEAM WOULD COME UP BIG WHEN THE TEAM NEEDED IT THE MOST? Every game there was somebody doing something

they wouldn’t normally do — whether it was score a goal, make a hit or block a shot. Obviously the one that stands out the most was Frankie [Pietrangelo] and his glove save [on the Devils’ Peter Stastny].

WHAT WAS YOUR MOMENT WHEN YOU ROSE TO THE OCCASION?

My moment came in Game Three against Boston. I just happened to coast into the slot and Mario [Lemieux] put the puck right on my stick.

Next thing I knew it was in the back of the net. What was I doing there?

I don’t know — but it happened. Everyone had their moments like that.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN ALASKA AND WHAT IS IT LIKE LIVING THERE? I have been in Alaska for nine years. It gets cold up

there in the winter … very cold … like 65-[degrees] below sometimes.

I get to fish and I get all the salmon you can imagine. I get lots of moose too.

HOW DO YOU COPE WITH THE FREEZING TEMPERATURES? We

have arctic gear that they give you. You have coats, facemasks and goggles. We have to wear goggles if the snow is blowing quite a bit because your eyes will freeze shut.

WHAT OTHER ADVERSE CONDITIONS DO YOU DEAL WITH? You

get whiteouts up there a lot. They come in phases one, two or three.

If you get a phase three whiteout, whatever building you are in, you can’t leave it. You can’t even see in front of your face because the snow is blowing so hard.

DOES THE WEATHER EVER GIVE YOU ANY BREAKS? In the

summer it’s 24 hours of sunlight for two months. You go out at like four in the morning if you are working on an airplane and you have to wear sunglasses because it’s sunny out.

PENGUINS PROFILE

BROOKS ORPIK By: Mark Madden

When asked if the NHL wanted to legislate hitting out of hockey, Brooks Orpik smiled: “Geez, I hope [hitting] doesn’t disappear. I’ll be out of the league pretty quick.”

The Penguins defenseman has been best known for his physical prowess during his seven NHL seasons. He has a 6-foot-2, 228-pound frame, and the aggressiveness and speed to use it violently.

But the Boston College product is also surprisingly quick, confident with the puck and always in the right place. If Defense 101 was a college course, Orpik could be a professor.

Orpik is also a leader, the Penguins’ conscience, always saying and doing the right things. He’s a big catalyst in many ways.

But yes, Orpik does like to hit.

“I don’t know if the [NHL] is trying to take hitting out of the game,” said Orpik, 31. “They’re just trying to make it a cleaner game. There’s a fine line [with] trying to keep the physicality but trying to make it as safe as possible for all the guys.

“Every year we watch these videos on what’s acceptable and what’s not. There are a lot of parallels with football. Guys are getting bigger, stronger and faster. The speed of the game is wide open. The potential for dangerous hits is there.”

No team knows that better than the Penguins, who lost captain Sidney Crosby for the rest of the 2010-11 season after he suffered a concussion in early January. Crosby still hadn’t returned to game action by the start of the current campaign.

Near the end of training camp, Orpik said Crosby was looking pretty good during drills.

“He’s not shying away from anything, which is probably a good thing,” Orpik said. “He looks like the same old Sid.” continued on page 171

continued from page 169

One advantage of a long summer is being able to rest and heal from the past season.

Crosby had not been cleared for contact by camp’s end. When he is, who’s going to be the first to hit him?

“I don’t know,” Orpik said. “I was up against him in 2-on-2 drills.

He doesn’t have a red jersey on. He’s wearing the same equipment as the rest of us — maybe a different helmet, but nothing you really notice on the ice.

“You probably go a little easier than usual — and then he makes you look stupid.”

Crosby spent Penguins practices and game-day skates wearing an opposite-color helmet than the rest of his teammates.

Orpik has been dealing with an injury of his own, a sports hernia that required surgery.

Orpik had the same operation on the left side of his body the prior off-season before undergoing the procedure on his right side this past summer.

“The previous year [2009-10] I battled [the injury] all year and played with it,” Orpik said. “This past year, it wasn’t something I had to deal with during the season. It developed when I was working out.

As my workouts got tougher and tougher, I started having issues with my lower abs. continued on page 172

171

continued from page 171

“I wanted to get it taken care of this summer rather than have it act up during the season and have to miss a lot of games. Everything seems to be on track. That’s one advantage of a long summer. You always want to have a long season, but we had a lot of guys get pretty banged up last year.”

The Penguins have a deep defensive corps: Seven quality blueliners at the NHL level, several more in the system.

Joseph Morrow, the Penguins’ 2011 first-round pick, is in juniors. Simon Despres, 2010’s first-rounder, is starting his rookie pro season with the Penguins’ Wilkes Barre-Scranton farm team.

When it was suggested that Orpik, Kris Letang, Paul Martin and Zbynek Michalek rank with any other NHL team’s top four defenseman, Orpik replied, “That’s for other people to judge, but it’s definitely a formidable top four.

“I would say we have a formidable top seven. I’d put us up against any group in the league. One thing that separates us from a lot of teams is the skating ability everyone has. With the way the game is played now, you can’t really hold or use your stick as much.

You have to be able to skate. ~ BROOKS ORPIK We have seven guys with above-average skating ability.”

“I WOULD SAY WE HAVE A FORMIDABLE TOP SEVEN. I’D PUT US UP AGAINST ANY GROUP IN THE LEAGUE. . .”
