Pittsburgh Penguins NHL Information

When thinking of the Pittsburgh Penguins, it's hard not think of one of the all-time greats in hockey: Mario Lemieux. Of course, that's understandable considering the fact that not only is Lemieux one of the best to ever play the game of hockey, but he's also the current team captain of the Penguins. And to throw one more bit of info onto why Lemieux is so closely associated with Pittsburgh Penguins tickets"¦ well, he actually owns the team. Granted, it's pretty rare for a team's star player to own the team on which he play, but in the case of Lemieux, he was owed so much money when the Penguins had to declare bankruptcy in 1998 that he was able to purchase the team and save it from moving to Portland, Oregon.
