PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on PGHHockeyNOW.com.
Kevin Acklin, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ president of business operations, is stepping down at the end of the season.
The Pittsburgh native was promoted to that position in June 2022 after serving as the team COO. He reports directly to the Fenway Sports Group, which owns the Penguins — the same as the president of hockey operations and general manager Kyle Dubas does.
Acklin released this statement:
“After seven incredible seasons with the Penguins, I have decided that I will be moving on from my role as President of Business Operations at the end of the season. I’m grateful to Fenway Sports Group for the opportunity to help lead this organization, to my colleagues for their dedication, and to our fans for their unwavering support. It has been an honor to serve the team I grew up cheering for, and I look forward to continuing to support the Penguins as an advisor through the end of the year. I will forever be proud to be a Penguin, and look forward to next steps in my career while continuing my service to Pittsburgh.”
