What is the name of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ mascot?

The story behind the answer

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ mascot is named Iceburgh.

Iceburgh is a large anthropomorphic penguin who represents the National Hockey League team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The name combines “ice,” the team’s hockey environment, with the ending of Pittsburgh’s name. He became the club’s official mascot in 1992.

The Penguins themselves entered the NHL in 1967. Their logo and team identity have used penguin imagery since the franchise was founded, making Iceburgh part of a longer visual tradition rather than a separate animal reference.

Iceburgh is sometimes confused with the team’s earlier live mascot, a penguin named Pete. Pete appeared during the franchise’s early years, while Iceburgh is the modern costumed mascot used at games and community events.
