WE’RE HERE FOR THE HOCKEY.
LET’S GO PENS
IS PROUD TO BE A PITTSBURGH-BASED BRAND.
The question sounded rhetorical, and came off as an attempt to once again emphasize the team nature of Team Canada’s Olympic triumph .
“Does anyone know who won the scoring race?” Canada/Detroit Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock wondered aloud after Canada had captured gold in Sochi .
Since you asked, coach: Phil Kessel of the USA/Toronto (5+3) and Erik Karlsson of Sweden/Ottawa (4+4 tied for the points lead in the Olympic tournament . Kessel was the leading goal-scorer with five and fellow American James van Riemsdyk (Toronto) had an Olympics-leading six assists . Mikael Granlund of Finland/Minnesota (3+4) and van Riemsdyk (1+6) tied for third in scoring .
Carey Price of Canada/Montreal had the top goals-against average (0 .59) and the best save percentage ( .972) .
MORE SPOILS: In addition to the medal-winning efforts of Canada (gold), Sweden (silver) and Finland (bronze), a few individual performances were recognized in Sochi .
HOW SWEDE IT IS: Despite losing the gold medal to Canada, Sweden was able to maintain its No . 1 spot in the International Ice Hockey Federation’s World Ranking .
The current ranking includes IIHF World Championships played between 2010 and 2013 and the 2014 Olympics .
THE TOP 10: 1. Sweden, 2. Finland, 3. Canada, 4. Russia, 5. Czech Republic, 6. USA, 7. Switzerland, 8. Slovakia, 9. Norway, 10. Latvia .
Sweden and Finland had been No . 1 and No . 2 prior to the Olympics .Canada improved two spots by virtue of its victory in the gold medal game .The IIHF list ranks 48 hockey-playing nations, with Mongolia (No . 46), the
United Arab Emirates (No . 47) and Georgia (No . 48) bringing up the rear .A second edition of the World Ranking will be published after the 2014
IIHF World Championship .

COMMUNITY UPDATE
We’re all accustomed to seeing the CONSOL Energy Center filled with fast paced hockey and top-notch fans, but how about seeing those fans down on the ice?
Supporters had a chance to share the ice with Penguins Alumni members during the third annual Penguins Alumni Skate with the Greats presented by 84 Lumber on January 13. Fans also had the opportunity to take part in two autograph sessions and purchase mystery autographed pucks sold by the alumni wives.
That evening, 600 fans enjoyed the opportunity to skate on the same ice the Pittsburgh Penguins call home. Penguins’ Director of Community and Alumni Relations Cindy Himes said, “It’s the first time we’ve ever held this event at CONSOL Energy Center and the fans seem to be having a blast!”
Alumni in attendance included Mark Recchi, Bryan Trottier, Jay Caufield, Troy Loney, Warren Young , Kim Clackson, Randy Hillier, Mark Kachowski, Ed Johnston, Phil Bourque, Duane Rupp, Pierre Larouche, Francois Leroux, Peter Taglianetti, Greg Malone, Dave Hannan, and honorary Penguins alumnus Dave Hanson. Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma made an appearance, as well as assistant coaches Tony Granato and Todd Reirden. Paul Steigerwald served as event emcee.

SKATE WITH THE GREATS PRESENTED BY 84 LUMBER COMES TO CONSOL ENERGY CENTERBY: KRISTEN MANCHOR

“It’s a wonderful event . It’s great that all the alumni come back and we get to see each other . Then we get to hang out with the Penguins fans, sign some autographs, and we go out and skate around a bit,” said Mark Recchi, member of the Penguins 1991 Stanley Cup Champion team .
With more than $21,000 grossed for
Penguins Alumni Charities, specifically breast cancer research, this year’s event could definitely be classified as a huge success!
In addition to Skate with the Greats, the Penguins Alumni Association holds annual fundraisers including an Alumni Charity Golf Classic and a Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament . Over the past four years, the Penguins Alumni Association has donated over $208,000 to local charities .
It’s safe to say that both fans and alumni had a great time at this year’s skate . From skating on CONSOL Energy Center ice to autographs galore, the third annual Skate with the Greats presented by 84 Lumber will be an event to remember for many years .
The Penguins Alumni Association would like to thank the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation for its help in organizing the event, their spouses for selling mystery pucks, and especially the fans who made Skate with the Greats presented by 84 Lumber a huge success!

MARIO LEMIEUXCO-OWNER
For full bios, please visit pittsburghpenguins.com.
Mario Lemieux, one of the most respected figures in National Hockey League history, is in his 15th 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 seven straight playoff appearances, three conference finals appearances in the past six years and a Stanley Cup championship in 2009.
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 golf tournament, which has raised more than $9 million for charity. More information is available at mariolemieux.org.
Mario and his wife, Nathalie, and their four children live in Sewickley.

Ron Burkle, one of the preeminent investors in retail, manufacturing and distribution industries, is in his 15th 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.
Among Burkle’s many significant contributions to the Penguins was his essential role in negotiations for a new arena. CONSOL Energy Center is considered one of the finest indoor facilities in North America and has attracted many national-level events to Pittsburgh. Under the leadership of Lemieux and Burkle, the Penguins have sold out every game for six-plus seasons.
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 is Chief Executive Officer and President of the Penguins, overseeing every aspect of the team’s operations.
Since Morehouse was named President in April, 2007, the Penguins have reshaped their 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. He reports directly to co-owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle.
An emphasis on branding and marketing, coupled with the team’s success on the ice, enabled the Penguins to lead all U.S.-based NHL, NBA and MLB teams in local television ratings during the 2012-13 season. The Penguins’ rating of 12.66 was the highest achieved by any U.S.-based NHL, NBA or MLB team on a regional sports network since 2002. Keeping with that trend, the Penguins led all U.S.-based NHL teams in website traffic and Twitter followers while continually setting new standards for merchandise sales.
Youth hockey participation also is on the rise — in part because of the organization’s support for efforts such as Sidney Crosby’s Little Penguins Learn to Play program, which distributes free head-to-toe hockey equipment, including skates, to 1,000 kids ages 5-7 each year.
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. He and his wife, Vanessa, have four children and live in Sewickley Heights.

Ray Shero has established himself as one of the premiere NHL general managers during his tenure with the Penguins.
Shero, an active member with USA Hockey and a member of the USA Hockey National Team Advisory Group, will serve as associate general manager for Team USA at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Shero, who is in his eighth season as Pittsburgh’s GM, has transformed a franchise that missed the playoffs from 2002-06 into a perennial championship contender, including two Stanley Cup Final appearances and a Cup title in 2009.
Shero, who was named general manager of the Penguins in May, 2006, arrived with a firm, forward-thinking managerial style that incorporates cutting-edge methods of technology, player relations, prospect development and salary cap management.
Shero cut his administrative teeth during 14 seasons as an assistant general manager with the Nashville Predators (1998-06) and Ottawa Senators (1993-98).
Shero, a native of St. Paul, Minn., was raised in a hockey family filled with tradition. His father, Hall of Famer Fred Shero, played for the NY Rangers (1947-50) and coached the Philadelphia Flyers for seven seasons. Fred and Ray Shero are one of the few father-son tandems to have their names on the Cup.
Shero played college hockey at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. He twice led the team in scoring and was named team captain on two occasions. He graduated in 1984 as one of the top-10 scorers in school history.
Shero, who was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the 1982 NHL Draft, spent seven years as a player agent before making the transition to the front office.
Ray and his wife, Karen, and their two sons reside in Upper St. Clair.

Whether it’s providing exclusive behind-the-scenes access to a pre-season trip to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point or audio from the team bench during an Evgeni Malkin hat trick, In The Room gives fans a unique perspective on the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Emmy-nominated, all-access television show, which debuted during the 2011-12 season, can be seen on ROOT SPORTS in Pittsburgh and the NHL Network, in addition to pittsburghpenguins.com. New episodes air on or around the 15th of each month.
“The idea of doing our own show developed because of the success of HBO’s 24/7, Road to the Winter Classic,’” said Penguins CEO David Morehouse. “We got a lot of positive feedback from our fans about the unbelievable access to players and coaches. Now, with In The Room, we can continue to show fans a side of the team and the sport that they’ve never seen before.”

The first-ever episode of In The Room in 2011 chronicled Sidney Crosby’s return to the lineup after missing more than 60 games due to injury. The show’s staff followed Evgeni Malkin to Russia to witness his off-season workouts in his home country, and documented a unique one-on-one workout session between coach Bylsma and Kris Letang.
Season Two showcased the dedication and human side of a hockey player. Joe Vitale said goodbye to his wife and kids before a road trip, and two former NHL captains, Jarome Iginla and Brenden Morrow, said goodbye to their old teams as Ray Shero acquired them prior to the trade deadline. Chatter on the bench between James Neal and Malkin during a game highlighted their unique relationship, and the highs and lows of a long postseason run were revealed.
The current season began with a trip to West Point. Lessons in leadership, teamwork and sacrifice were stressed — ideals that the 2013-14 Penguins would build upon. The players carried a rock to the top of a mountain — and that rock is handed out after

“We’re able to do this because of the tremendous cooperation of the Penguins players, coaches and hockey operations staff,” said Leo McCafferty, executive producer of In The Room. “Obviously, at times, you have to get lucky. We had a microphone on Geno when he scored a hat trick. We had a mic on Pascal when he pulled out his tooth. But it’s given us an opportunity to take fans where they’ve never been before. The best part is, we never know what we’re going to come across next.”

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 2013-14 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.

#ASKPYATT
@EQUESTRIAN66 If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? #AskPyatt “I think Italy. That’s sort of the next place I’d like to go. I’ve had to opportunity to travel in Europe a little bit, but I haven’t gotten a chance to get to Italy. I’m excited to go there and eat some good food and enjoy the good weather.”
@MLMASLANKA What is your favorite meal? #AskPyatt “I definitely enjoy my steaks and chicken and pasta is something I eat a lot before games. I sort of like all different types of food.”
@MMCMANIMON How is it playing against your brother Tom when you get the opportunity? #AskPyatt “It’s always a lot of fun. It’s a game on the calendar that I circle before the start of the season. It’s always exciting for my family to be able to come to the game and play against each other. I think I’ve won the last couple games, so I’ve had family bragging rights for the last couple years.”
@BRI31998 How did you get your current number? #AskPyatt “It was available when I got picked up here in Pittsburgh and I’ve worn it in the past years ago in Long Island, so I thought I’d go back to 17.”
@PENSFANFROMLA Which cartoon character would you be and why? #AskPyatt “Inspector Gadget. That was my favorite cartoon growing up as a kid, so I’d probably have to go with that.”

This February, during the NHL Olympic break, the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite Hockey Program will be sending a team to the 55th Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament 2014, from February 12th to 23rd at the Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec.
The Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament is known as the most important minor hockey tournament in the world, grouping young hockey players (11 and 12 years old). About 2,200 young hockey players from 15 countries come to Quebec to participate in the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament.
This Tournament takes place during a period of 12 days with crowds totaling around 200,000 fans, every year. This extraordinary event, very popular, was founded in 1960 and has never ceased to grow in importance.
The members of this team will not only be a part of a great tournament but will follow in the footsteps of some of the greatest hockey players of all time. Many stars from the National Hockey League have passed through this Tournament: Brad Park, Guy Lafleur, Marcel Dionne, Gilbert Perrault, Mark Howe, Wayne Gretzky, Sylvain Côté, Eric Lindros, among many others including Penguins owner Mario Lemieux.

“When we first broached the subject of going to Québec with the team and parents at the beginning of the season, they were obviously very excited. As the season has progressed and we have gotten closer to the Québec International Tournament, the team has become much more excited about the chance to play in such an exciting event.” Team Business manager Tim Krock said, “The tournament has a very rich tradition, and I think that the boys really do understand that. We are very grateful to have this opportunity, and it is in large part a reality due to the generosity of the Pittsburgh Penguins, DICK’S Sporting Goods, and GNC.”
This year, the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite is sending up their Pee-Wee Major team (2001 birth years) to compete in this year’s tournament. The team will be coached by Mike Schall and former Penguin and three-time Stanley Cup Winner, Mark Recchi.
Thanks to GNC, this team will travel to this tournament that will feature the best Pee-Wee hockey teams from around the world and promises to be a competitive and fun atmosphere for this Pens Elite team. Pittsburgh will be well represented not only with talent, but with awesome uniforms. Going back into the archives, this team will be wearing the old school black/yellow sweaters that the Pittsburgh Penguins wore back in the early 90’s.
The Pittsburgh Penguins, Pittsburgh Penguins Elite and GNC would like to wish this team the best of luck as they venture north of the border and look to find success in such a prestigious tournament.

It was one save. It came in a regular-season game that was mostly forgettable otherwise. It earned an extra point. But that extra point isn’t likely to mean anything in the standings. This save will turn out to be of minimal consequence.
But, boy…what a save!Marc-Andre Fleury stole the show when he thrust himself across
the crease to deny Erik Karlsson with his glove as the host Penguins beat visiting Ottawa 2-1 on Feb. 3. James Neal scored in overtime, but Fleury’s save won the game. It came with 10:33 remaining in the third period and the game tied 1-1.
Descriptions don’t do Fleury’s save justice. It was absolute robbery, with Fleury’s glove out-quicking Karlsson’s shot to the net’s upper right corner.
It wasn’t the most meaningful great save in franchise history: That would be “The Save,” one made by Frank Pietrangelo on New Jersey’s Peter Stastny in the 1991 playoffs. If Pietrangelo doesn’t flash leather to help win Game Six of that first-round series against the Devils, the Penguins probably don’t win the Stanley Cup.
But for pure difficulty, hand-eye coordination and raw athleticism, it’s hard to remember a Penguins goaltender ever making a better stop.
PENGUINS PROFILE: MARC-ANDRE FLEURY BY: MARK MADDEN

It was definitely the best save Coach Dan Bylsma has seen Fleury make.
“Yes. Yes. Flat out,” Bylsma said. “The athleticism to get over there is one thing. The ability to get your glove up to that high right corner — he had to move to get it. It wasn’t just, stick your glove out and Karlsson shoots it into the glove. I’m not sure I’ve seen another save live that was any better than that.”
The other dressing room gave Fleury his due.“That’s something I did not count on,” said
Karlsson, top scorer among NHL defensemen. “It’s a great save. I can’t really do anything
other than tip my hat and say, ‘Good job.’ It was a clear shot and an open net, but he clearly denied me. Pretty hard, too.
“Unfortunately, I’m going to be on the highlights for quite some time with that one.”
Said Sens captain Jason Spezza, “He’s quick. One of the
quickest in the game. Pretty good shot by Erik. Not much more you can do. It was just a good save.”
Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson made 46 saves
on the evening, Fleury just 24. But Fleury’s remarkable
stop was the one that had people buzzing.
“It was a game-changer,” Anderson said. “Obviously, he’s
quick. He moves well side to side, and he always gives himself an
opportunity to make the save. I broke into the league right
around the same time as him, and I’ve seen him make saves like that on
numerous occasions.”

Mark Madden hosts a radio show 3-6 p.m. weekdays on WXDX-FM (105.9).
With all due respect to Anderson, the game’s No. 2 star that night — no goalie makes saves like that on numerous occasions.
OT hero Neal knew Fleury’s stop was something special: “I think that’s the best one I’ve ever seen him make. The one he made in Calgary with the back of his head was pretty crazy. He’s been doing that all year.”
Neal was referring to a save Fleury made against Calgary’s Mikael Backlund in a 2-1 victory at Calgary on Jan. 11. A screened Fleury spun around and deflected aside Backlund’s shot from the left circle with the back of his head.
Fleury was characteristically modest about his stop on Karlsson:“I knew I was in trouble because I saw that [Karlsson] had a
little bit of time and some room to come to the net, so I thought he was maybe going to shoot. I just tried to get my leg and glove over there. I’m glad it went in the glove.
“You never think you’re beat until it goes in. Every goalie is like that. I knew I had my pads on the ice, and my glove in mid-air. I’m just happy I caught it.”

“Wow! What a beautiful arena,” Karolyi says of CONSOL Energy Center on his first visit to the venue. “What an excellent place to perform.”
Patterson agrees, “CONSOL Energy Center looks like a great place. I’m excited to be here.”
Karolyi says, “I’ll be here rooting and encouraging all of the participants to do their best.”
The long-time coach and influential figure in gymnastics, Karolyi now has snowy white hair, and his passion for gymnastics and his signature mustache are as vibrant as ever.
Making a round of Pittsburgh media to promote the upcoming P&G Gymnastics Championships, Karolyi talked about the significance of the championships, his career and the future, as well as the rich history of gymnastics.
“We could have a world changer here in Pittsburgh with the world medalists who will be here,” Karolyi says.
The standards of gymnastics are higher than ever before, according to Karolyi who says that people will not be able to imagine the spectacular athletic performances that they will see at the 2014 championships.
“It will be a great moment in Pittsburgh gymnastics,” he says, adding, “Who knows who will make history? There could be another Nadia [Comaneci] or Gabby [Douglas].”
“It will be inspiring,” he says.“The P&G Gymnastics Championships are a unique opportunity to see
the best in the world,” Karolyi says.Patterson, who has experienced some great moments in gymnastics
history herself, shares this view. “It’s an exciting time for the sport,” she says, pointing out that the 2014 championship will draw the likes of 2012 Olympic Team Gold Medalists Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney, and Biles.
“It is the biggest competition of the year,” says Carly pointing out that the best gymnasts in the nation, juniors and seniors will come to Pittsburgh to compete for the country’s highest honors in the sport.
For local gymnasts and fans of the sport, Patterson says, “You’re lucky when it comes to your city. We will have the best in the United States, boys and girls, competing. It’s the chance to enjoy your sport firsthand and to see world class athletes in your backyard.”

She recalls watching championship performances when she was a young gymnast herself and says that it was inspiring and motivational to her to see high caliber gymnasts vying for top honors.
Besides designating gymnastics new national champions and recognizing the individuals’ years of work to hone their performances, Karolyi says, it is “the moment” that is the dream of many young athletes.
“Kids are working 8-10 years to get to the national championships.”
Karolyi says that for young gymnasts who dream of being champions, the impact of witnessing a live competition for national honors can impress and motivate them.
“It is the life-time chance to see athletes perform at this level,” he says. “Thousands of kids will come and go home dreaming,” Karolyi says. “Let’s embrace this competition and give kids the opportunity to get
inspired. People will be glad that they did,” he says.What attracts Karolyi to the sport of gymnastics? “It’s unique and
beautiful,” he says.Floor exercise is his favorite part of gymnastic competition. He calls it a
showcase of athletic ability and strength combined with music, dance and expression. “It’s a beautiful combination” he says.
When she was competing, Patterson says, “Yes, beam was always my favorite event and to have a dismount named after me that is still one of the hardest dismounts you can do makes me really proud of that. My favorite part of competition now is just watching all the young talent getting better and better and doing so well. It is so nice to sit back and relax and enjoy my sport in a different light, especially knowing that I achieved my ultimate goal in gymnastics.”
Discussing what it takes to make a champion, Karolyi says, “The element of performance is needed in addition to the mental element, the drive, soul and feelings.” Mental strength, high difficulty performance and attitude are all necessary to success, he says.
Patterson says that excellence in gymnastics teaches and exacts “dedication, commitment and lots of hard work.”
Its lessons have relevance for her now as she pursues a college degree from Texas Women’s University and a career in public speaking.
On her rise to the top of the world of women’s gymnastics, Patterson laughs and says, “Looking at early videos, no one would have expected it.”

Known as one of the world’s most successful gymnastics coaches and a leader in the sport, Karolyi had a somewhat ironic career as a gymnast.
He has produced 28 Olympians, nine Olympic champions, 15 world champions, 12 European champions and six U.S. national champions and says that he struggled in the sport as an athlete in college.
“I thought who in the world created this crazy sport.” It was a required study in his physical education training. He says that he was almost “kicked out” of the university over the gymnastics test.
His wife Marta, herself a world renowned gymnastics coach, played a crucial role in his gymnastics career.
“I met a young lady. She was a great gymnast. We shared a dream together,” he says.
Of her gymnastics career, Patterson says, “It was just one of those things that was meant to be.”
She confirms that when she attended her cousin’s gymnastics-themed birthday party, “I fell in love with it. My cousin was not a gymnast. She just had her party there.” Laughing, Patterson adds, “She says that I owe her.”
Entering the sport at age six, Patterson became the top gymnast in the world in a decade.
As a Level 10 gymnast in 2000, she watched Elite gymnasts at a competition and says, “I knew then that I wanted to be like those girls. I knew that I had four years to work my butt off to be ready.”
“In 2000 a lot happened. I went Elite from Level 10,” Patterson says. She also remembers dealing with her family’s move to another city and having to change gym’s which she says turned out to be a blessing.
“I had to keep an eye on the end goal, stay healthy and keep working,” she says.
In the 2003 World Championships, she won 2nd in the All-Around competition, and a year later, she became the U.S. National Co-Champion, and went on to be the first American woman to take the Olympic Gold for the All-Around in 20 years.

Patterson says that gymnasts have a “special connection” whether they are Olympians or beginners in their first year.
To all of the gymnasts who share the dream of being the best, Patterson says, “Gymnastics is such a great sport. Even if you don’t go to the Olympics or get a scholarship, it’s a great foundation, develops motor skills and teaches a lot about your body.”
She adds, “Be proud just to be a gymnast. You are doing something that not everyone can do.”
Asked about the future of the sport of gymnastics, Karolyi says, “There have been crucial moments in the history of gymnastics when I’ve thought ‘This is the most intense and highest performance of human capacity’.”
He cites as examples performances by Nadia Comaneci and Mary Lou Retton. Comaneci is the only gymnast to ever score perfect 10 in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. In 1984 at the Olympics in Los Angeles, the energetic and physical performance of Mary Lou Retton earned her the all-around gymnastics championship.
“The sport is ever developing in difficulty, the components, dance and music. I don’t believe there is a limit now,” Karolyi says.
On this topic, Patterson says, “I have already seen the sport of gymnastics rise so much after the
2004 Olympics and it has been great to watch. I only see good things for the future and for our country to keep dominating like we have been!”
Citing Retton’s “lovely personality” and “fiery performance,” Karolyi says, “Mary Lou turned the page on gymnastics toward making it the nation’s number one sport.” He points out that women’s gymnastics is the most watched sport in the country.
Karolyi calls Retton, “Mary Lou, my sunshine of my coaching career.” He says that unlike some youngsters who were quiet and perhaps intimidated by his coaching style, Retton was bubbly and enthusiastic and enjoyed every second of training and competing.
Looking ahead to the next Olympic Games in 2016, Karolyi says, “We are going to try to make it. We will probably retire after 2016,” he says noting that he and his wife have been involved in the sport for some 50 years.
“We deserve to retire,” he says, and then after a moment’s pause he adds, “We will never stop contributing as much as we can.”

The UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex, scheduled to open in Cranberry in the summer of 2015, will feature two sheets of ice and serve as the Penguins’ official practice rink — but, as Penguins CEO David Morehouse said, “it will be much more than a hockey rink.”
The complex will be the first medical facility in the country to focus specifically on hockey-relating training, rehab and injury prevention.
“It will be a one-of-a-kind, world-class facility right here in Cranberry,” Morehouse said.
UPMC will build the 180,000 square foot facility at an estimated cost of $70 million. The complex will offer expert care in orthopaedics, concussion management, physical and occupational therapy, imaging and sports-performance training.
“The facility that we are planning here will comprise almost 50,000 square feet of clinical space for world-class orthopaedic and therapy programs,” said Liz Condordia, UPMC executive vice president.

The two sheets of ice also will be home to the Penguins Elite youth hockey program as well as amateur and high school games, adult hockey leagues and instructional camps and clinics. In addition, the facility will offer public skating and figure skating and will host community events.
Romoff praised Lemieux, the Hockey Hall of Famer, for his special relationship with UPMC.
“We have the Austin’s Playrooms in seven of our hospitals, which Mario and his foundation have provided … the Lemieux sibling complex at Children’s Hospital, and, most recently, our fabulous, completely brand-new Mario Lemieux Center for Blood Cancers,” Romoff said.

The Pittsburgh Penguins Elite program presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, which is quickly becoming the premiere AAA hockey program in the area, will feature 14 teams — nine boys teams and five girls teams.
The Pittsburgh Penguins Elite teams will compete in the Tier I Elite Hockey League that includes the Philadelphia Junior Flyers, the Buffalo Junior Sabres, the DC Capitals, the Dallas AAA Stars, the Phoenix Junior Coyotes and the Los Angeles Junior Kings, among others.

During the Summer of 2013, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and UPMC Sports Medicine expanded their concussion awareness program to include a free neck-strengthening kit during the new testing period. To date, over 8,000 youth athletes have been tested through the Heads Up Pittsburgh Program.
Free Neurocognitive Baseline Testing was available for athletes age 10-14 at four Community College of Allegheny County campus locations — Boyce, North, South and the West Hills Center. Testing also took place at the UPMC Center for Sports Medicine on the South Side.
In an unprecedented move to provide precautions and exercises that could reduce concussions, the first 2,000 participants during that time also received a free neck-strengthening kit. Experts believe this device will help to cut down the number of youth-athlete concussions. Those participants that signed up at UPMC Center for Sports Medicine on the South Side and the CCAC North campus were also eligible to have their neck strength tested and be part of an ongoing UPMC research project.
“We want to make the game safer for all young athletes. As a possible answer, we added the neck strengthening kit. Recently published research indicates that there is a direct correlation with improved neck strength and the reduction of concussions,” said Dave Soltesz, president of the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation.

Last season, Pittsburgh finished first in the Atlantic Division, ahead of the New York Rangers, the New York Islanders, Philadelphia and New Jersey. This upcoming season, the Penguins will be looking to defend that title against those same teams plus three new ones — Carolina, Columbus and Washington — in the newly created Metropolitan Division.
As part of the NHL’s realignment plan that will be implemented for the 2013-14 campaign, the league will be in a more geographically appropriate two-conference, four-division format with 16 teams in the Eastern Conference and 14 teams in the Western Conference.
The Eastern Conference divisions (Metropolitan and Atlantic — which will now consist of Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Florida, Montreal, Ottawa, Tampa Bay, and Toronto) have eight teams in each while the Western Conference divisions (Central and Pacific) have seven teams in each.

METROPOLITAN DIVISION
The pre-realignment Atlantic Division was known for being one of toughest and most competitive divisions in the NHL, as it was not uncommon to see all five teams battling until the end to make the playoffs every year (and usually at least three advancing). Plus, the gap between the first-place team and the last-place team tended to be relatively small, especially compared to the gaps in other divisions.
It also had some of the most intense rivalries, starting with the legendary, hate-filled and bitter one between cross-state teams Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. And there was no love lost between the Penguins and any of the other teams in the division, either.
It doesn’t look like the new Metropolitan Division will be any friendlier. All of the rivalries from the former Atlantic Division, of course, will stay intact. The Capitals are already a current rival of Pittsburgh with all of the star power and history, and now that they’ll see more of each other we can only speculate as to how much more intense that will become.

METROPOLITAN DIVISION
The pre-realignment Atlantic Division was known for being one of toughest and most competitive divisions in the NHL, as it was not uncommon to see all five teams battling until the end to make the playoffs every year (and usually at least three advancing). Plus, the gap between the first-place team and the last-place team tended to be relatively small, especially compared to the gaps in other divisions.
It also had some of the most intense rivalries, starting with the legendary, hate-filled and bitter one between cross-state teams Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. And there was no love lost between the Penguins and any of the other teams in the division, either.

and Washington developed such a strong rivalry of star power. The Penguins have Sidney Crosby and
Malkin while the Capitals have Alex Ovechkin. They are the biggest superstars in the league and have been battling for
honors (in addition to team glory in their playoff series) Ovechkin broke into the NHL during the 2005-06 season. It’s
exciting to watch when they all go head-to-head. Penguins-Capitals rivalry flared up in the 90s when the two
met seven times in 11 years — with the Penguins winning six of those series. That hatred has been carried over during the
era. And it should only get hotter as the enter the same division.

NEW ADDITIONS:COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS
The main reason Pittsburgh and Columbus could develop an exciting rivalry is the short distance between them. All seven of the Penguins’ Metropolitan Division opponents are within driving distance, but Columbus is by far the closest at just under three hours away.
A lot of Penguins fans made the trip to Columbus the last time Pittsburgh played there on Dec. 4, 2010, with an influx of black and gold jerseys in the stands at the game. And with five games between the teams (three in Columbus, two in Pittsburgh) this season — including a home-and-home series on Nov. 1-2 — fans from both teams will venture into enemy territory to support their clubs. Call them destination rivals, if you will, with the added element of fan travel.
WASHINGTON CAPITALS
The Penguins and the Capitals already have one of the NHL’s marquee rivalries. They clashed in the 2011 Winter Classic at Heinz Field, on a few Super Bowl Sundays and had an epic playoff battle in 2009 when Pittsburgh defeated Washington in seven games during the conference semifinals on its way to winning the Stanley Cup. Now that the two

Pittsburgh and Washington developed such a strong rivalry because of star power. The Penguins have Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin while the Capitals have Alex Ovechkin. They are the three biggest superstars in the league and have been battling for individual honors (in addition to team glory in their playoff series) since Ovechkin broke into the NHL during the 2005-06 season.

CAROLINA HURRICANES
Pittsburgh’s rivalry with Carolina may not be as developed as it is with Washington, but it could get there. If it does, we’d bet it’s because of the Jordan Staal — Brandon Sutter trade.
Staal, who played his first six NHL seasons with Pittsburgh, was a key member of the Penguins’ 2009 Stanley Cup championship team and was part of the successful three-center model with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. But Staal wanted to play with his brother Eric, so the Penguins traded Jordan to Carolina at the 2012 NHL Draft for Sutter and prospects Brian Dumoulin and Derrick Pouliot. Staal signed a 10-year, $60-million deal with the Hurricanes a few days later.
Staal came to Pittsburgh just once in his first season with Carolina, in the final game of the regular season. The sellout crowd at CONSOL Energy Center gave him an extended standing ovation as a tribute played on the video board, and Staal was emotional as he stood up and acknowledged the fans he had played in front of for his first six seasons. But now that
over and done with, don’t expect things to remain as friendly and cordial as they are now. Staal is an important part of Penguins history, but not their present or future. He’s a competitive guy, and the Hurricanes expect a lot from him. He’ll want to do everything he can to lead his team to success in the future, including beating his former team whenever possible.

PLAYOFFS
Realignment doesn’t just affect the regular season; it affects the postseason as well. The playoffs are now division-based and with an added wild-card system.
The number of total playoff spots, 16, remains the same — eight for each conference. That means the Western Conference will have 14 teams competing for eight playoff spots, while the Eastern Conference will have 16 teams competing for eight playoff spots. It will likely end up being a tighter race for Pittsburgh and the rest of the Eastern Conference.
The top three teams in the Metropolitan Division and the top three teams from the Atlantic Division will fill the first six spots. The remaining two spots (Nos. 7 and 8) will be filled by the wild-card teams, who are the next two highest-placed finishers in each conference based on regular-season points and regardless of division.
That means the Metropolitan Division could send five teams to the playoffs while the Atlantic sends three; or vice versa. Or they could each send four. Regardless, the playoffs are now heavily based on divisional standings while before, only the division winner got a guaranteed spot in the playoffs.
NHL.com explained the seeding best… “The seeding of the wild-card teams within each divisional playoff
will be determined on the basis of regular-season points. The division winner with the most points in the conference will be matched against the wild-card team with the fewest points; the division winner with the second-most points in the conference will play the wild-card team with the second fewest points. The teams finishing second and third in each division will play in the first round of the playoffs. The winners of each series will play for berths in the conference championship series.”
So while the wildcard system makes it possible to play a team in the opening round of the playoffs outside of the division, it’s more likely that teams will be playing the first two rounds against divisional foes. And we’ve seen first-hand the last few years just how intense that can be.

exclusively at The Club at PensGear Stores.
WORK HARD AND HAVE FUN We all want to be the best players we can be and help our team win each time we step on the ice. The easiest way to achieve this — WORK HARD EVERY TIME you step on the ice because work ethic is a huge key to being a successful hockey player. Just as important as working hard is ENJOYING THE GAME. Hockey is just that — a game — which means it is something we do to entertain ourselves. When you are having fun on the ice, chances are good that you are playing your best.
DID I MENTION HOW IMPORTANT SKATING IS?
GET TO THE NET Everybody has probably heard
the saying ‘good things happen when you go to the net.’ There is a good reason for that — everything happens there. When you have a chance to shoot, get the puck on net. You also have to make sure that you physically go to the net so that way you are there for tips, rebounds and screens — all plays that lead directly to goals.
to generate more offense. What separates the great passers from the good ones is not only are they able to deliver the puck to a teammate when he or she is wide open, but they are able to use the boards and make area passes to teammates in traffic. “Practice perfect passing.”

ICEBURGHA 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.

The Penguins came up short in the quest to achieve one of their pre-Olympic break goals, but they were close enough to what they were after to be able to scatter for their mid-February hiatus encouraged about what they might yet accomplish upon their return.
“We were hoping to get 22 goals [against] or less in the 10-game segment,” head coach Dan Bylsma explained after the Penguins’ 4-3 shootout loss to the Rangers on Feb. 7. “The third one [for the Rangers] was the 23rd.
“We were one shy of that in terms of playing good defense, keeping the puck out of our net.”
The Penguins were especially adept at doing that over the final six games of their self-appointed, 10-game defensive test.
They shutout Buffalo on Jan. 27 and held the Kings (on Jan, 30 in Los Angeles), the Senators and the Sabres (Feb. 5 in Buffalo) to just one goal apiece.
“The scoring chances [against] were under 12 in those games,” Bylsma reported.
Even in a 3-1 loss on Feb. 1 in Phoenix, “we talked about playing that game at 1-0 or 1-1, playing well for the first two periods and then sticking with it,” he continued. “We did that again when we got home and played a patient game, a 62-minute game [a 2-1 triumph in OT], and we had talked about that beforehand. If it takes us to the 58th minute, the 61st minute to win 1-0, that was our mindset.
GETTING BACK ON TRACKBY: MIKE PRISUTA
continued on page 212 211
“I thought we did a real good job.”The Penguins remain a potent offensive bunch.But they’re also one that’s aware of the changing nature
of the game as the stretch run and the playoffs come more into focus.
“Teams are playing pretty tight but that’s something that as the year goes on isn’t going to get any easier,” captain Sidney Crosby observed before heading for Sochi, Russia and the Winter Olympics. “It gets tougher and tougher as you get closer to the playoffs.”
Fellow Canadian Olympian Chris Kunitz concurred.“It’s a little more of a grinding game than maybe we’ve been
used to for the first 50 games but every game’s going to be tight now,” he said. “There are going to be one-goal games. Everybody’s fighting for those points to position themselves for the playoffs.”
The Penguins are aware they must respond accordingly, that they must play with structure and discipline to give themselves their best chance to win.
“It’ll be a good test every time you go on the ice to try to compete and play more like playoff hockey,” Kunitz continued, looking ahead to the resumption of the NHL season tonight at CONSOL Energy Center against Montreal. “We’ve been talking about it for about a month now. We’ve done it in spurts.”

That wasn’t far off the St. Louis Blues’ figure of 2.32 goals-against per game, so the Penguins were at least operating at close to a bronze medal level in terms of how efficient they’d been at keeping pucks out of their cage.
But a bronze medal is still less than the gold standard to which the Penguins aspire.
The challenge for the rest of the regular season will be to continue honing their discipline and structure.
And that was a task the Penguins sought to familiarize themselves with during their last 10 games before the Olympics.
“The last three games we’ve been patient with our game,” winger James Neal observed before the Penguins played at Buffalo on Feb. 5. “We’ve put pucks on the net and we’re going there.
“That’s a good thing.”Especially when unnecessary risks and potentially-crippling
turnovers can be avoided in the process, as the Penguins have done.
The idea the rest of the way will be to continue playing with speed and to get pucks to the other team’s net but at the same time avoid allowing games to degenerate into wide-open affairs that trade chances at either end.
“We have to show each other that we believe we’re only going to give up one or two goals a game and we don’t have to outscore a team by five to win a game,” Kunitz stressed. “We have to make sure we can shut teams down and trust and have confidence in that style of play.”

BLACK HISTORY MONTH RECOGNITION
At the February 7th game against the New York Rangers, the Pittsburgh Penguins were proud to recognize Black History Month.
Former Woodland Hills High School graduate Armahn Ashley sang his trademark rendition of the National Anthem while standing with the Color Guard.
Arn Criswell, who began playing ice hockey with Pittsburgh ICE (Inclusion Creates Equality) and Pittsburgh Predators, and now goalie for Montour High School assumed the role of Junior Skater. Arn’s favorite hockey player is Marc-Andre Fleury. To have the on-ice opportunity in CONSOL Energy Center, at a home game standing in the line-up with the Pittsburgh Penguins is a dream come true for Arn.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are deeply honored to acknowledge the exceptional service of the Tuskegee Airmen and other African American veterans. Fans welcomed the veterans with standing ovations and rounds of applause for their courage, contribution, and essential role to our country.
Tuskegee Airman Dr. Harry Lanauze, SSgt. Dave Lanier and Technical Sergeant Gordon Manker were saluted with distinction from the crowd while riding the Zambonis. Other veterans Spec. 4

The Penguins that didn’t travel to Sochi for the Olympics took advantage of their time off, with several traveling to much warmer climates.
“Got out of the Pittsburgh weather for a little while,” smiled defenseman Matt Niskanen, who went to the Bahamas. “Got some sun. Just mentally and physically to get that break at this time of year I think is the perfect time. Got to watch some entertaining hockey down in the Caribbean, that’s a pretty good combination. So come back refreshed and get ready for the last 20 games or so before the playoff.”
Besides the hockey, Niskanen said he didn’t do anything special while he was there.
“Got a sunburn. That’s about it,” he joked.The Caribbean was a popular spot for a few of the Penguins.
Niskanen, Craig Adams and Deryk Engelland all traveled there, as did Marc-Andre Fleury — who went with his wife Veronique, daughter Estelle and sister Marylene.
But those Penguins weren’t the only hockey players who flocked there.
“I saw [former Penguin and current Hurricane] Jordan Staal, he was at a different hotel,” Fleury said. “We just texted each other and were like oh yeah, our hotels are right beside each other. So that was good. Had dinner a couple times with him. ‘Addsy’ was there too, not too far away.”
The trip marked the first big family vacation for the Fleury’s with their baby Estelle, who turns a year old in April. And with how crazy the season has been these last few months, Marc-Andre was grateful for the break to get quality time with his daughter.
“It was good, and good to play dad a little more than I’ve done in the past while,” Fleury said. “It was fun, definitely different than my previous vacation[s]. But it was a good time, though.”
Fleury had handled a huge workload going into the Olympic break. He had started 47 of Pittsburgh’s 58 games (tied for second-

most in the NHL), recording a league-high 31 wins. That much playing time can take a toll, so Fleury was happy to abide by his 9-month-old baby’s schedule on their vacation, which consisted of a LOT of napping.
“The first few days, I was sleeping a lot. Napping and sleeping, so it was good. It was just mostly the baby’s schedule, I’d say,” Fleury smiled. “Ate, sleep. My sister was there so she babysat a few times. But mostly dinners. A few little excursions, like snorkeling. It was good.”
Estelle Fleury may have been sleeping a lot, but Sawyer Glass’ parents kept him on his East Coast schedule while they visited Lisbon, Portugal and London, England, which meant he was awake later than usual.
“We had our little guy and we kept him on east coast time, so he was going to bed at midnight,” Tanner Glass said. “So he was coming to dinners with us and all the waiters and waitresses were

really friendly with him and he was good, so he was a good baby to travel with. It worked out.”
Tanner and his wife Emily toted Sawyer around Lisbon with them, where they “did two days just kind of walking around the city, doing the sightseeing, touristy stuff around there. Checked out some restaurants.
“Then we did two one-day trips to little towns outside the city, little coastal villages, and kind of got immersed in the local culture that way.”
When the Glass family got to London to visit friends, they went to the Liverpool-Arsenal soccer match — which Tanner, a big Liverpool fan, said was an interesting experience, to say the least.
“It was really intense. Very intense,” he laughed. “The fans are just — everyone’s super knowledgeable and act like they know the game even if they maybe don’t. It was really cool to be a part of. We were sitting right in the middle of a really intense Arsenal section, so I kept my Liverpool jersey tucked away.”
While a lot of the guys took family vacations, James Neal and Robert Bortuzzo traveled to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico together.
“It was good, just relaxed,” Bortuzzo said. “We were in a house, so we could kind of just lay low and feel like you’re not doing anything. Kind of just sit by the pool and relax and have fun. Played a lot of ping-pong and swam and just relaxed and got away from it a bit.”
One of the highlights of their trip was a deep-sea fishing expedition.“I’d never done that before,” Neal said. “It was an hour and 45
minutes out in the middle of the ocean and the fishing was really cool. So it was something I always wanted to do and got to do it.”
Neal was quite successful his first time, catching a 300-pound marlin. However, he wouldn’t let Bortuzzo help him reel it in.
“He let me touch the rod for about five seconds,” Bortuzzo joked. “So he was the one who reeled it in. That was pretty cool. We were all going to reel it in together, but all I got to do was touch the rod and see how hard it was pulling. We got a picture with it, so that was pretty cool. All that stuff was good.”

Hockey is a physical sport, thus learning and understanding how to use your body to not only control the puck in tight areas but to play physically and strategically without the puck against your opponent is an essential part of a hockey players development. This camp teaches your kid how to Battle along the boards, with the puck and in front of the net. One hour and 10 minutes of instruction during three days.
This camp provides skill development and power-skating instruction from Cliff Loya and Max Ivanov. All goalies will received instruction from Mike Chiasson and Matt Wynn.
Penguins Hockey Development’s Skate/Skills program provides your player with the extra skill development they need. Half the session is devoted to power skating, while the other half focuses on puck skills.
Hockey is a game of creating opportunities in small spaces. Big Ice 3-on-3 leagues do not allow players to simulate these situations. This makes it easy for them to develop bad habits. In Penguins Hockey Development’s Cross Ice 3-on-3, the players will play on a third of the ice. This ensures that the puck will always be around them, while forcing them to make quick decisions. Goalies will get plenty of realistic shots, not just breakaway after breakaway.
