The Pittsburgh Penguins and Penguins Foundation will host the third annual Hockey Talks Game, powered by Citrone 33, when the Penguins face the New York Islanders on Thursday, April 14 at PPG Paints Arena at 7:00 PM. The event is part of the joint Break the Ice mental health campaign. Introduced in 2020 by the Penguins and Citrone 33, Break the Ice is a local movement in support of Hockey Talks. The first two years of the Break the Ice campaign aimed to break the stigma often associated with mental health. This year will further challenge Penguins fans to take positive action regarding their own mental wellness, as well as the mental health of their loved ones, and to assist in building a community that is mentally strong. Fans can share their efforts by joining the conversation on social media using the hashtags #BreakTheIce and #HockeyTalks.
