Pittsburgh Hockey History.

 

Our homepage highlights Pittsburgh Hockey History Made on this date. If offers a fresh set of milestones every day at midnight.

We present the city’s hockey history timeline, jersey histories, arena descriptions, all-time uniform numbers, rosters and some statistical snippets that are complimented with photographs of Pittsburgh hockey artifacts.

• Hobey Baker, America’s Greatest Hockey Star, likely may have played the last game of his career in the Steel City.

• Long before Iceburgh, the Penguins had a real live penguin for a mascot, but he had a sad story.

• Can’t remember the last time the Penguins scored a short-handed goal or on a penalty shot? Have a look at €œTHE LAST TIME€ feature to refresh your memory.

• Profiles of the 21 men from Western Pennsylvania that were good enough to crack an NHL roster.
