Nevertheless, they have persevered. Known across the league as lovable losers for its first 24 years, the team began the climb to the top in the 1990s, winning the Stanley Cup twice in that decade and once more in 2009. In Tales from the Pittsburgh Penguins Locker Room, sportswriter Joe Starkey takes fans inside the locker rooms, onto the team buses (including the one defenseman Bryan “Bugsy” Watson hijacked), and behind the personalities that have shaped Penguins hockey since 1967.
Joe Starkey is an award-winning reporter and freelance columnist for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. He has covered the Penguins since 1997 for the Tribune-Review and the Hockey News, following stories ranging from Mario Lemieux’s greatest comeback to the team’s second plunge into bankruptcy. In 2003, Starkey won a Golden Quill Award, presented by the Press Club of Western Pennsylvania, for his story on chewing tobacco abuse in baseball. He resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Mike Lange is in his 37th season calling play-by-play on the radio for the Penguins.
