Penguins to Hold Black Hockey History Game Presented by CNX on Feb. 18

The Pittsburgh Penguins will hold their annual Black Hockey History Game presented by CNX on Saturday, February 18 when they host the New Jersey Devils at 5:30 PM at PPG Paints Arena.
Penguins players will wear special warm-up jerseys and use Black Hockey History Game pucks during warmups prior to their game against the Devils. The custom warm-up jerseys feature traditional Pan-African colors of red, black and green as well as Penguins' gold to represent the spirit and rich history of the Black community, especially here in Pittsburgh. The unique design is similar to the Penguins' Juneteenth inspired t-shirts.

The warm-up jerseys will be auctioned off beginning pre-game on Feb. 18 through Feb. 24 at 12:00 PM. Fans can bid by going to

or by texting ASSIST to 76278. Warm-up pucks used on the ice prior to the game will be available for purchase at the beginning of the first intermission behind Section 104. Auction and warm-up puck proceeds will benefit youth hockey diversity initiatives and programming at the Highmark Hunt Armory Ice Rink.
All fans in attendance for the Black Hockey History Game will receive a rally towel presented by CNX. "Hockey is for Everyone - I Play For" signs will also be available to fans behind Section 104, with the opportunity to take photos in front of a backdrop. Tickets for the Black Hockey History Game are still available here.
