The Pittsburgh Penguins, with the support from the National Hockey League's Industry Growth Fund, provided 25 local partner rinks with 50 sets of hockey equipment! The equipment will be used by local rinks and associations to host Try Hockey For Free events throughout the year. Penguins Try Hockey For Free, presented by U.S. Steel initiative encourages children ages 4 to 9, to give the sport of ice hockey a try, with no cost or commitment.

The sport of hockey has had tremendous growth in Western Pennsylvania and initiatives such as Try Hockey For Free clinics allow even more children to get involved.
