Penguins president recovering after heart attack

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Penguins president David Morehouse is
recovering from a heart attack in San Jose, Calif., where the
team played its last game.

Penguins’ vice president of communications Tom McMillan says
Morehouse became ill as the team was preparing to fly out of San
Jose on Sunday, the morning after a 5-0 loss to the Sharks.

McMillan says Morehouse was still in an undisclosed hospital in
San Jose on Monday and should return to Pittsburgh in a couple
of days. McMillan says Morehouse had a “minor procedure” after
the heart attack, and is expected to make a full recovery.

The Penguins hired the 48-year-old Morehouse in 2004 to help
craft a financing deal for the $325 million Consol Energy Center
set to open next fall. He was promoted to president two years
ago.
