PITTSBURGH PENGUINS HISTORY
The Pittsburgh Penguins were originally founded in 1967. It wasn’t until 1991 the team took home their first Stanley Cup, though. That didn’t stop them from taking home the Cup once again in 1992, showing the league what the team could really do.
But it’s the 21st Century that the Pittsburgh Penguins really took off. Not only did they make the playoffs for 16 consecutive years, but they also took home three more Stanley Cups during that time, in 2009, 2016 and 2017.
The Penguins are part of the Metropolitan Division and play at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.
