With over 980 regular season games
under his belt, he has more experience in the league than anyone invited to training
camp this season. Still, it is a bit of a surprise to see him in the Pens black and
gold. In Memory, In Support Penguins to Donate Money from Remaining Tickets Sales for Pre-season Games to Disaster Relief Funds The Pittsburgh Penguins today announced they will donate all money from remaining
ticket sales for their two home preseason games to disaster relief funds in New York
City, Washington D.C. and Somerset County, Pa. - sites of the recent terrorist attacks
and crashes.
Approximately 3,000 tickets remain for each of the Penguins' two home preseason games
- Monday, Sept. 24 vs. Atlanta and Saturday, Sept. 29 vs. Columbus. Both games will
be played at 7:30 p.m. at Mellon Arena.
All remaining tickets will cost \$20. Seats will be assigned on a first come, first
served basis.
"All across America, people are looking for ways to contribute in the aftermath of
these attacks - and we just think this is one of the ways we can help," said Tom
Rooney, president of Team Lemieux LLC. "We all feel for the victims and their families."

Tragedy Hits the Hockey World The Pittsburgh Penguins extend their deepest sympathies to the families and friends of all the victims of yesterday’s tragic events. The hockey world today mourns the loss of two of its brethren, Garnet “Ace” Bailey and Mark Bavis, both scouts for the Los Angeles Kings. Bailey and Bavis were both passengers on United Airlines Flight 175, which collided with the World Trade Center in New York City. ----------------------------------------------------------------- A Penguins' First: Audio Broadcast of Pre-season Games Training camp has started.
