(93.7 The Fan) The Pittsburgh Penguins made six new signings today.
The team joined with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to give kids the opportunity of a lifetime, and be a part of the Penguins for a day.
Michael Sexton, Allison Urciuoli, Brayden Veenis, Jessica Goddard, Hughes Fleming, and Morgan Thrush were signed to one-day contracts by general manager Jim Rutherford and were around the rest of the team for most of the daily routine.
The kids were also given personalized jerseys and locker name tags with their name and number.
Players and Make-A-Wish kids alike sat down for a breakfast were stories were shared.
Penguins' winger Patric Hornqvist had Fleming change his skate laces for him while Hornqvist sat in on a team meeting.
Rutheford noticed and made sure to mention it during the press conference where the kids signed their contracts.
Meeting the team and signing the one-day deals are sure to be moments that these kids will never forget.
