Pittsburgh stars to aid Penguins' pitch for marquee events

David Morehouse has spent the bulk of his tenure as Penguins president and CEO positioning Pittsburgh as a player when it comes to hosting big-time NHL events.

Mr. Morehouse, 55, will receive some help when the World Cup of Hockey arrives here next week.

As the Penguins again look to impress NHL brass, four local players skating for Team North America — a collection of the top under-23 talent in the United States and Canada — will further Pittsburgh’s case as a serious bidder for marquee events like the World Junior Championship and the NHL All-Star Game.
