I have a hockey card of Mr. Rogers as a Pittsburg Penguin. He was made honorary Captian in 1993.

Which sports team made Fred Rogers an honorary captain?
In 1993, the National Hockey League celebrated its 75th anniversary by asking its teams to choose "celebrity captains." The Pittsburgh Penguins named Fred Rogers, and he ice skated into the arena to thunderous applause when he received his award -- and a Pittsburgh Penguin sweater.
