The Pittsburgh Penguins got their start in 1967 during an NHL expansion era. While penguins are obviously not native to Pittsburgh, the team was named after their original home stadium (Mellon Arena) which looked like an igloo.¹

After some early struggles on the rink, the franchise surged in the 1990s. Legends like right-winger Jaromír Jágr and team captain Mario Lemieux led them to their first Stanley Cup championship in 1991. Their winning streak continued in the 2000s, making them a fixture in Steel City’s professional hockey legacy.¹
