  • Hats Off To The Pittsburgh Penguins

    This is an article about how a sweet little 8-year old boy who wanted nothing more than to be a Pittsburgh Penguin’s hockey player and how he got to be one.

    Jacob Anderson of Connellsville, Pennsylvania started his hockey career playing in the Connellsville Youth League where he has played since he was five. His dream has always been to someday play for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

    Sadly, Jacob Anderson has cystic fibrosis. In steps the Make a Wish organization to help little Jacob fulfill his dream. The Penguins had Jacob sign a contract (for $1.00) and paraded the new player out before the media. Jacob’s answers to questions were spoken like a true 8-year old, with most answers simply being, “awesome.”

    The Pittsburgh Penguins welcomed their new player, giving him a locker which held his equipment and uniform. Jacob then participated in practice where it only took him four shots to score! He then joined his parents and older sister to watch the game - in seats on the glass located just behind the Penguins’ bench. How cool is that?

      Catching up on threads and came across this one I had to read. If it's one thing the Pittsburgh sports organizations are known for, is their community work. What a sweet story. Thanks for posting, Ken.
