Having an arena and a hockey team will have an affect on the entire economy of the region. Another thing that has to be recognized is how much the Penguins support high school hockey.

I think it is important that we make the political decision-makers know the new arena has our support. We are trying to emphasize the importance of the hockey in this area. We know it will affect high school hockey.

We need someone to make sure blacks are not always bearing the burden of integration. We have been bearing the burden for a number of years, since this thing started.

The players that come from this area are doing very well.

They probably are one of the best teams around here in a long time.

There's definitely a rivalry there. The kids feel it, and they play for it.

I'm sure that's something we're going to talk about. I'm not crazy about a tie all-star game.
