## Resource

Ron Francis is back in Pittsburgh—not as a player, but as a special advisor to the Penguins, where his legacy as a two-time Cup champion still echoes through the city. After managing the Hurricanes and Kraken, he’s returned to his roots, greeted warmly by fans and thrilled to reunite with GM Kyle Dubas, whom he’d previously tried to bring to Seattle. Known for his integrity and deep love for the team, Francis is eager to lend his veteran wisdom to the front office, and Penguins fans couldn’t be happier to have their legend back.
