The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins are a mid-sized professional hockey organization based in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, competing in the American Hockey League as the affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The team has a long track record of postseason success, with 15 consecutive playoff appearances from 2003 through 2017, three Calder Cup Finals appearances (2001, 2004, 2008), and two regular-season championships (2011, 2017). This history reflects an established presence within the AHL and the broader spectator sports landscape. In late 2024, the franchise expanded its facilities with the launch of a Dek Hockey Rink at the Toyota Sportsplex in Wilkes-Barre, offering play with no skating skill level required. The operation is part of the local sports ecosystem and is supported by a mid-sized workforce.
