Penguins Practice
On September 26, a small group from the Slippery Rock Program Center watched the Pittsburgh Penguins practice at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex. Little did they know they would be witnessing Penguins history. This was the same day Marc-Andre Fleury made his return in a Pittsburgh Penguins uniform, wanting to end his career in the same place it began. Cheers could be heard throughout the complex as people witnessed this historic moment. The individuals were certainly excited to see the Pens practice. They also loved interacting with the Pens' mascot, Iceburgh. It was an exciting day for everyone.
Spirit Halloween
With Halloween just around the corner, individuals from the Slippery Rock Program Center visited the Spirit Halloween Store to get ideas for costumes. They had a great time browsing the displays and donning some of the costumes.
