Sidney Crosby, Matt Cullen help Penguins win 7 Emmy Awards
Sidney Crosby and Matt Cullen scored big assists, helping the Pittsburgh Penguins video staff win seven Emmy Awards at the 2020 Mid-Atlantic Regional Emmy Awards on Saturday. The program was held virtually.
Crosby and Cullen were the producers on videos that featured important moments in their careers.
Crosby was honored for his role in “Merci Sidney,” about his trip to Rimouski, Quebec, where his former junior team, the Rimouski Oceanic, retired his jersey.
Cullen won for “My Story,” a recap of his 21-year NHL career. Cullen personally narrated the video.
Penguins staff member Andrew McIntyre was part of four awards, and Leo McCafferty, Aaron Spiegel, Ethan Mansberger and David Distilli were part of two each.
In addition, AT&T SportsNet won an Emmy for a Penguins pre-game show.
