I went down to the first day of Penguins training camp today with a buddy. Got there around 930 just in time to see the second practice squad take the ice, and boy was it loaded. Players had on their practice jerseys so none of the numbers match up to their game jerseys. It was great seeing hockey back in the swing of things once again, and couldnt beat the seating, which was first row behind the glass. The Mellon Arena (Igloo) is the oldest NHL rink still standing. Enjoy the pics

SHWEEET!!!

I drove by that thing a couple times!

liberty tubes/bridge...

what sport are they playing?

So glad to see hockey back...with the new NHL changes this year should be exciting.

That picture of Mario is really good, nice to see him back on blades and yes! watch out for Sidney Crosby...one helluva player! I hope the hype doesnt hurt his rookie season with the Pens.

I seriously think the Penguins and Oilers will be HUGE teams this year.

Yea, with the addition of Thibault and Gonchar it should be more of a balanced team for the Pens. I really dont know about the Oilers goalies, what are they like?

you lucky bastards ...you got Sidney Crosby...i wish my Leafs could have gotten him ....oh well we'll still beat you guys non the less
