All-Star Game selections

The National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Forty-four All-Star Games have been held since the Penguins entered the NHL in 1967, with at least one player chosen to represent the Penguins in each year except 2004. The All-Star Game has not been held in various years: 1979 and 1987 due to the 1979 Challenge Cup and Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the Soviet national team, respectively; 1995, 2005 and 2013 as a result of labor stoppages; 2006, 2010 and 2014 due to the Winter Olympic Games; 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; and 2025 when it was replaced by the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off. Pittsburgh has hosted one of the games. The 41st took place at the Civic Arena.

Retired numbers

The Pittsburgh Penguins have retired three of their jersey numbers. Michel Briere's number 21 was removed from circulation following Briere's death on April 13, 1971, but it was not officially retired until January 5, 2001. Mario Lemieux's number 66 was originally retired on November 19, 1997, after his first retirement. The number was unretired when he began his comeback on December 27, 2000, and re-retired on October 5, 2006, after Lemieux announced his second retirement during the previous season. Jaromir Jagr's number 68 was retired on February 18, 2024. Also out of circulation is the number 99 which was retired League-wide for Wayne Gretzky on February 6, 2000. Gretzky did not play for the Penguins during his 20-year NHL career and no Penguins player had ever worn the number 99 prior to its retirement.

Michel Briere Memorial Rookie of the Year Trophy

The Michel Briere Memorial Rookie of the Year Trophy is an annual award given to the player who was the most proficient player on the team in his first year of competition in the league. It is named in memory of Michel Briere, who died in a car accident at the end of the 1969–70 NHL season. Briere himself won the award that season, when it was known as the Rookie of the Year Award. There were no winners of the award for several seasons because the team did not have any rookies who could satisfy the conditions to win the award.
