Paul Steigerwald: Calling Penguins games 'was my destiny'

It's time to step aside.

The overriding emotion is gratitude. First and foremost, I am thankful to God. I’m living a charmed life. Often, I stop and ask, “Why me?”

When I think of the amazing people I have met and befriended, the beautiful places I’ve been and the unforgettable moments I’ve shared, it's almost too good to be true.

I owe my broadcasting career and all those experiences to Mario Lemieux, without whom most of it would not have been possible.

I've been to Stockholm, Tokyo and Ireland. I have seen much of the United States and Canada because of my job.
