CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins will honor Hall of Fame play-by-play man Mike Lange at PPG Paints Arena Oct. 19, when they will face the Stars.
Lange, 73, filled that role for 46 years before retiring in August.
“He will forever be a part of our team,” Penguins president and CEO David Morehouse said, in a statement release by the team. “It is important to us that he receives the recognition and adoration that he deserves. There is no better way to show him our appreciation than to honor him in front of a full arena of Penguins faithful.”
Fans will be given cheer cards featuring some of Lange's goal calls.
"I am more than honored to share this night with the fans of Pittsburgh,” Lange said. “I’ll be smiling like a butcher’s dog while I enjoy the hockey game.”
