Penguins Relaunch Hall of Fame, Enshrine Four

The Pittsburgh Penguins relaunched their team Hall of Fame on Saturday, unveiling a new exhibit on the FedEx main concourse near Sections 111-112 at PPG Paints Arena and enshrining four members — Scotty Bowman, Ron Francis, Eddie Johnston and Kevin Stevens — during an on-ice ceremony before the game. The exhibit features plaques, jerseys, photos and memorabilia, including a special Mike Lange display, and highlights the 20 previously recognized franchise figures. The organization said it plans to add 10 more individuals to the Hall over the next three years. Players, families and franchise leaders including Mario Lemieux, Craig Patrick, general manager Kyle Dubas and Jason Spezza attended events, shared stories and participated in panels to relaunch the club’s celebration of its history. Inductees reflected on their time in Pittsburgh; Sidney Crosby praised the tradition, and Kevin Stevens recounted career highs, playoff heroics and his recovery work after struggles with addiction that affected his broader Hall of Fame prospects. The relaunch is intended to reconnect fans with the Penguins’ championship legacy by showcasing defining moments from the franchise’s history.
