Lemieux Returns as Player Owner for Penguins
Mario Lemieux, after battling cancer and a year off due to back pain, will return to the Pittsburgh Penguins as a player owner. The move would make him the first modern major pro athlete to own and play for a team, a decision requiring NHL board approval and likely ending his day-to-day team duties. If he recovers form, Penguins could rise as a top contender, currently 13-10-3 and second in the Atlantic before a game at Toronto.
