Pittsburgh Penguins, Owen Pickering

Owen Pickering impressed the Pittsburgh Penguins on and off the ice. He impressed Pittsburgh media, PHN included, with his well-spoken and accessible demeanor. The Penguins made him their 2022 first-round choice, 21st overall.

On Friday, the Swift Current Broncos named the 18-year-old, still-growing 6-foot-4 defenseman their new captain.

The team did so with a ceremonial video on Twitter. Former Swift Current captain Glenn Gawdin, now with the Calgary Flames organization, also helped with the new announcement.

A cool moment for Owen Pickering, a young player who seems destined for the Penguins’ lineup in the future.
