Wednesday was opening night for Da Beauty League, an offseason league based in Minnesota for professional and college hockey players.
The league, which was formed in 2015, runs from July 10 to Aug. 21. Each of the six teams plays an eight-game regular season schedule with games consisting of two 23-minute halves. The postseason consists of a semifinal round on August 19 and the John Scott Cup championship game two days later.
Jake Guentzel, Nick Bjugstad, Teddy Blueger, and prospect Clayton Phillips are the Penguins' representatives in the league this summer.
