STAFF - About Us

Welcome to Pens Universe. The name itself is might be self-explanatory, but here's what we're all about. Essentially this is our outlet as rabid Penguin fans to express our thoughts, opinions, and creativity with the Pens Hockey world. Originally the idea spawned with Damian in April 2009 for this to be a one-stop-shop to host all of the most popular Penguins websites and blogs in existence. However it quickly became a hybrid of many of them whereby it morphed into presenting original articles, pre/post game thoughts, player and media interviews, voting polls, weekly quibbles, statistical analysis, and of course no blog is properly equipped without photoshops.
