Four months after announcing his retirement, Marc-André Fleury is putting the pads back on to join the organization that originally drafted him.
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced on Friday that Fleury has signed a professional tryout contract before all 32 teams open training camp for the 2025-26 season on Sept. 17.
Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas issued a statement about Fleury returning to the club:
“The entire Penguins organization is honored to welcome Marc-Andre Fleury back to the ice in Pittsburgh. This past year everyone witnessed how beloved and respected Marc is in the game of hockey, but the adoration goes beyond his accolades and career. Marc means so much to our team, our fans and the City of Pittsburgh because of the person he is and the example he set. The Penguins feel he and his family are most-deserving of this opportunity to celebrate this full-circle moment back where it all started in front of the black and gold faithful.”
