The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, November 10, 1999 7 Pens (continued from page 1) world-class athletes. “I think it's awesome that these players came here to talk to us,” said Brian Gregory. “This is like the best day of my life.” For Jill Unvarsky, who plays right wing on her youth hockey teams, the chance to meet some of the Penguins was a dream come true. “I play hockey at the Ice-A- Rama and the Ice Box and I've grown up in a hockey family,” she said. “My dad and my brother both play hockey and my mom loves the sport and watches all the games on television and ev- erything. We have season tickets so we'll be going to all the Pen- guins’ games. I can’t wait - hockey is like the only thing we talk about in my house.” The Penguins’ appearance drew enthusiastic responses from less avid hockey fans as well. “I thought the program was really interest- ing and I thought the hockey play- ers were so cute,” said Noreen Sarieh. a Five homerooms were selected to participate in a mini-clinic in which the players demonstrated hockey skills. “I learned how to handle and pass the puck,” said Ben Chopka. “I didn’t know until today that you are supposed to pass the puck softly so that your teammate can handle it easily. It's really cool that the Penguins did this because I feel like they're really our team, not just some team you only see on television.” Tom Grace, who works in the Penguins’ broadcast booth, said . . I chose hockey because I thought it gave me the best chance at getting a College scholarship.” Mike Pomichter Penquins player the organization is confident such fan allegiance will grow quickly. “We knew when we came to the area we weren't moving into Montreal or Toronto. This is a football region,” he said. “Fortu- nately, everyone I have talked to has been just great. I think we're all looking forward to opening day.” Developing a positive identity with community organizations is expected to have an impact last- ing long after the first puck is dropped at the new arena. “Our goal in organizing events like this one at Dallas Middle School is not so much to get more people to come out to see our hockey games,” said Grace. “But we hope parents will say ‘Oh, I know that guy, he’s one of the Penguins who visited my child’s school’ or When my my son was in the hospital that player stopped by his room.’ The players are living here, this is their community too and as you can see from the enthusiasm shown by the players today they are excited about the opportunity to make a difference.” Richard Smith mimicked stick handling skills demonstrated by Curtis Drummond. Five Dallas Middle School students will take part in a Penguins shootout at the first home game.
