When Fenway Sports Group purchased the Penguins there were eventually going to be noticeable changes in how things were structured. They are a conglomerate with many sports holdings and consolidating those operations was inevitable in the modern marketplace. Some of those changes are taking place

Kevin Acklin, #Penguins President, issued me this statement

"This season, we have taken time to evaluate our business operations and concluded that a restructuring was necessary, which included some difficult personnel decisions."

"While change is never easy, we believe our plans to reinvest and bolster critical areas of our organization will allow us to build on the high standard of excellence that our fans, players and partners have come to expect" More tonight @KDKA News at 5/6

One of the more front facing cuts was to Andi Perelman. She was the vice president of marketing and digital and had a huge say in how everyone has digested Penguins content for the decade she was on the job. This will be a pretty big change for the Penguins. Just think about how social media and digital consumption has changed since 2014.

After 10 years, 3 months, and 17 days, my time with @penguins has drawn to a close.

All in all a pretty great run for Andi during one of the most interesting ten year stretches in team history. Best wishes moving forward.
