DELMONT (KDKA) -- A Hockey Hall of Famer and former Pittsburgh Penguins player joined a "Little Penguins" practice in Delmont on Saturday.

Bryan Trottier stopped by the Center Ice Arena to surprise the kids during their weekly practice session.

"Who knows where it's gonna take them, but it's gonna teach them life skills, it's gonna give them a chance to be a part of a team, learn to be dependable and share that excitement of playing a great, great sport like hockey," Trottier said.
