UPMC has become the “Season-Presenting Partner” of Pittsburgh Penguins hockey as part of a long-term extension of its sponsorship agreement.
Starting immediately, every Penguins season will be “presented by UPMC.”
The new agreement adds a dynamic new element to a wide-ranging partnership in which:
- UPMC became a founding partner at CONSOL Energy Center when the arena opened in 2010
- UPMC and the Penguins collaborated on the new UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry, which was funded by UPMC and opened in 2015
- UPMC doctors and specialists provide medical care to Penguins players and travel with the team to road games
- Joint programs include the Penguin players’ annual visit to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC and the popular “It’s a Great Day for a New Baby” program at UPMC Magee.
