This city will always hold a special place in our hearts.” She went on to reminisce about the memories they created as part of the Penguins’ family, noting Fleury’s role in bringing three Stanley Cups to the team and his dedication to the game.
The Fleury family’s relationship with Pittsburgh extends beyond the ice, as they built friendships and gave back to the community through charity events and fundraisers. Veronique’s words resonated with Penguins fans who have followed Fleury’s journey and supported him even after he left the team. As she concluded her message, Veronique shared a touching tribute to the Pittsburgh fans, adding, “Once a Penguin, always a Penguin.”
Marc-Andre Fleury’s return to Pittsburgh and Veronique’s heartfelt message remind us of the lasting legacy players can have in the hearts of fans, proving that some bonds in sports are unbreakable, even as careers evolve and teams change. For the Fleurys, Pittsburgh will always feel like home, and they leave behind a legacy of not just trophies, but a genuine love and respect for the city and its people.
