Fans will have the opportunity to get a picture with the 39-year-old defenseman and the iconic trophy at the public autograph session which will take place between 3 PM and 4 PM.

The Pittsburgh Penguins won their second straight Stanley Cup on June 12 this year. Even though Streit did not scratch the ice in the finals, the defenseman still played in 19 regular season- and three playoff games for the Pens, scoring eight points (one goal, seven assists).

Per tradition, each member of the Championship winning team is given 100 days during the off-season to have possession of 'Lord Stanley'. This includes the team’s victory parade, days with sponsors, media days as well as a day or so with each coach and player.
