Good news for the Pens.

Forbes magazine came out with great news for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

"The Pittsburgh Penguins have the fastest-growing team brand in the National Hockey League and one of the fastest-growing team brands in all of professional sports, according to a Forbes Magazine analysis published this month. "

"The Forbes analysis values a team’s brand as the 'portion of a team’s overall value that is derived from their name, as opposed to their market and league.' The magazine said the value of Penguins’ brand has grown by 88 percent over the past three seasons. The Penguins will record their 113th straight sellout tonight, and the team recently signed a naming rights deal with Consol Energy for the new Consol Energy Center. The Penguins have the most-visited NHL team website in the United States, set a record for local television ratings on FSN Pittsburgh for the second straight year, and continue to establish new standards for suite sales and sponsorship sales.'
