In a very similar fashion as it had previous happened with other teams, the Penguins were founded as part of the NHL expansion of the 1967-68.
During the 1970’s the Penguins struggled with all sort of problems including heavy financial issues.
Nevertheless; it wasn’t until the 1990’s the team became a renovated group with the inclusion of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League super star Mario Lemieux who led them to two in a row Stanley Cup wins.
Amongst some of the team’s most accomplished players who helped the team achieve its many division and conference championships we can mention: Paul Coffey, Ron Francis, Joe Mullen, Bryan Trottier and Head Coach Herb Brooks. |
The Penguins have also been awarded with several different trophies throughout its history such as: the President trophy in 1992-93, Prince of Wales trophy in 1990-91 – 1991-92 and the NHL All-Star Game MVP - Mario Lemieux 1985, 1988 and 1990.
The team plays its home games at the Mellon Arena located in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania as of the 1967 season.
