The Pittsburgh Penguins are now officially back from summer break:
The Pens are taking to the ice for the first official practice before the new season and it won’t be long before the fans will be cheering on the team at Mellon Arena.
Training camp officially opened for the Penguins yesterday at the UPMC Sports Facility on the South Side.
Players got physicals and prepared for today’s practice.
The practices will be open to the public at least today through Friday at the arena.
The players take to the ice at 9 a.m. and will skate in various groups until 1 p.m.
The doors open at 8:45 a.m. at gate one.
Meanwhile, individual game tickets go on sale for the 2008-2009 season Saturday at 10 a.m.
Tickets can be purchased through Ticket Master and at the arena but they probably sell out quickly.
