Welcome to the 2024.25 PPS All-Stars Program!

Through free and discounted tickets and mentorship, the PPS All-Stars program provides opportunities for students to reach their full potential both on and off the ice. The Penguins are using the power of hockey to invest in the Pittsburgh community. PPS All-Stars deepens our existing relationship with Pittsburgh Public Schools and adds to our free learn-to-skate and diversity hockey programs at the Highmark Hunt Armory community rink.

The free-ticketing program kicks off this preseason, with an invitation for Pre-K through 12 PPS students to attend a PPS All-Stars Game on September 24, October 1, or 4.
