The Pittsburgh Penguins announced today that Beechview native David Morehouse is taking over as the team's new president.
Morehouse, 46, who has worked as a senior consultant for the Pens since December of 2004, helped organize the team's strategy to get a new arena.
Before that, he worked as the communications director for John Kerry's presidential campaign.
As the team's president, he will oversee construction of the new arena, the development of the Mellon Arena site and handle communications for the team.
"For a kid from Beechview who used to sneak into the Civic Arena in the 1970s to watch Syl Apps, Jean Pronovost and Dave Burrows, this is a dream come true," Morehouse said in a statement today.
Morehouse currently lives in Squirrel Hill with his wife and two young children.
