Penguins' practice at Shadyide's Hunt Armory 'pretty magical'

The Penguins took a little field trip for practice on Monday.

Instead of practicing at the Lemieux Complex like usual, players and coaches met at PPG Paints Arena downtown, put on their gear, and then boarded a bus to Hunt Armory in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood.

The detour to Shadyside was a fun change of scenery from the usual practices, but that wasn't the main motivation for the trip. Rather, the Penguins were looking to give back to the community and draw a little attention to the important work the team has done in building up the Hunt Armory rink.
