Penguins plan to honor Lange Oct. 19

The Penguins will honor Hall of Fame play-by-play man Mike Lange at PPG Paints Arena Oct. 19, when they will face the Stars.

Lange, 73, filled that role for 46 years before retiring in August.

“He will forever be a part of our team,” Penguins president and CEO David Morehouse said, in a statement release by the team. “It is important to us that he receives the recognition and adoration that he deserves. There is no better way to show him our appreciation than to honor him in front of a full arena of Penguins faithful.
