Just in case you aren’t following the NHL, the Pittsburgh Penguins have made it to the playoff and will be competing against the NY Rangers on Friday and Sunday. So if you are a die hard hockey fan and are wondering about how are you going to survive Saturday or if you are just looking for a fun Saturday afternoon activity – this is the event for you.

The Pittsburgh Celebrity Hockey team will take the ice against the Pittsburgh Pharaohs.

• Pittsburgh Celebrity Hockey Team – former Penguins, Steelers, famous people and Pittsburgh City Council Members
• Pittsburgh Pharaohs – some people that like to play hockey – I have no idea why the name pharaohs – I would love to know.

The fun goes down on Saturday April 26, 2008 at the Ice Castle Arena.  Doors open at 3:00 pm and the game will begin at 3:10. Admission is $7 for adults and $5 for children under 12. There will also be an autographed memorabilia auction, and snacks and soft drinks will be available.  All proceeds benefit the MDA.

I hope PittGirl does a follow up post on this event.
