Hockey is coming back soon
It’s the heat of summer and the Penguins’ season has been over for two months. But the flurry of the off-season is about to relent and get some hockey back on the ice soon after the draft when they stock up with new prospects and have their other ones back for the annual summer development camp.
Camp runs from July 3-7 up in Cranberry at the practice rink. All events are free and open to the public and a great chance to see the players of the future and get a first glimpse at most of the players from the 2025 draft and the newly signed Mikhail Ilyin gets in a Penguin jersey for the first time!
