Iceburgh (Pittsburgh Penguins)

Posted by Admin

Iceburgh is the official mascot of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League. Iceburgh (right), debuted for the 1993-94 NHL Season. Iceburgh was known as "Icey" in the 1995 film "Sudden Death" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, filmed at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena. In the movie, Iceburgh's costume was worn by one of the villains.
The name Iceburgh is a play on the word 'iceberg' and the name of the city of Pittsburgh. He usually wears a Penguins jersey with the number "00". The costume is almost identical to that of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins' team mascot, "Tux." The only difference being that Iceburgh has an orange neck, and Tux's neck is red. Tux also wears hockey gloves and Iceburgh does not.
