For our archival work since we're all big hockey fans we decided to incorporate the Pittsburgh Penguins. We would take artifacts from their original arena, the Civic Arena also known to Pittsburgh fans as "The Igloo," there are a lot of leftover pieces from this arena as well as pictures and memorabilia. The Penguins then moved into their new arena, PPG Paints Arena formally known as CONSOL Energy Center. Once we have location established, mainly with images of the locations and areas then we can move into the most dominant players that have been with the franchise like Keith McCreary, Bob Kelly, Jean Pronovost, Ron Schock, Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Evgeni Malkin and of course Sidney Crosby. There's so many players to list this is just a small handful, but with this section of the archive we can include memorabilia from players and accomplishments they made throughout their seasons as well as awards players have won. For example Sidney Crosby is amongst the most decorated NHL players having won multiple Stanley Cup Championships, he's individually won the Hart Trophy, the Art Ross Trophy along with the Ted Lindsay Award some of these he's won more than once, some are shown below.
Also something we discussed including was players gear such as equipment like hockey sticks used by the players, goalie masks or skates, pucks and jerseys as well as autographed ones. Things like this, especially ones from the big name players, go for thousands of dollars and not everyone has the luxury of getting able to buy them or even see them, some may not by aware that they exist. This archive will be a great tool to Pittsburgh Penguin's fans who want to explore the different stages and players of their favorite franchise.
