PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Penguins players dealt cards instead of passing pucks at CONSOL Energy Center Thursday evening as part of the inaugural “Aces and Ice Casino Night."
The event, which was presented by Trib Total Media, featured the entire Penguins team serving as celebrity casino dealers.

“Aces and Ice Casino Night" replaces the Penguins’ former charity gala dinner as the team’s signature event of the season.
Proceeds benefit the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation, the Mario Lemieux Foundation and the Western PA Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Since 1986, the team’s annual benefit has raised over $6 million for Pittsburgh area charities with an emphasis on medical research.
