PITTSBURGH, PA – Today, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Xfinity have announced a multi-year partnership designating Xfinity as the Official Internet, Video, and Mobile Provider of the Pittsburgh Penguins and PPG Paints Arena.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Xfinity to the Penguins family as we continue our commitment to enhancing the fan experience,” said Penguins Senior Vice President of Partnerships Steve Kelley. “Our partnership with Xfinity connects our fans to Penguins hockey and builds experiences that support our community in the greater Pittsburgh area, extending well beyond PPG Paints Arena.”
Through this new partnership, Xfinity will help power the Penguins’ digital platforms, and Comcast Business will deploy the advanced network infrastructure powering the arena’s backend operations and fan-facing digital experiences, including upgraded WiFi and enhanced connectivity for all events hosted at the venue.
“This partnership reflects the full strength of Comcast – combining the reach and reliability of Xfinity with the enterprise-grade innovation of Comcast Business,” said Matt Lederer, Vice President of Brand Partnerships & Engagement, Comcast. “Together, we’re proud to support the Penguins and the Pittsburgh community with technology that enhances every moment – on and off the ice.”
Xfinity and the Penguins also collaborated with the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation to hold the Pittsburgh Pennies Girls Hockey Festival at PPG Paints Arena on September 25. The event included on-ice clinics, off-ice informational sessions for parents, and family-friendly activities designed to inspire and support the next generation of female leaders, athletes, and creators.
Xfinity is Comcast’s residential services brand, offering a full suite of products, including high-speed Internet, streaming, mobile, voice, and home security – delivering reliable, connected experiences for today’s consumers at home or on the go.
Further details on partnership activations, in-arena elements, and community programming will be announced throughout the season.
