Ben Kindel and the prospects were on a boat.

It's been a long summer without hockey, and that includes a long summer for us at The Hockey News - Pittsburgh Penguins.

But hey, Ben Kindel and some (older) Penguins' prospects are back in Pittsburgh, and they were on a boat Sunday afternoon!

Also spotted on the boat was Atley Calvert, Finn Harding, Harrison Brunicke, Tanner Howe, and Rutger McGroarty. 

Hey, we're bored. But these guys were also spotted on the ice at UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry on Monday, so hockey is almost back, everyone!

Have you ever been on a boat on the three rivers in Pittsburgh?
