PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation is teaming up with a nationally known maker of hand-hammered giftware to turn parts of the stainless steel roof from the team's former home -the Civic Arena - into Christmas ornaments.

Team officials say Wendell August Forge is making at least 6,000 of the ornaments - which come in two styles.

Wendell August Forge, based near Grove City, has purchased part of the 170,000-square-foot igloo-shaped roof and is cutting and cleaning the thin sheet metal into pieces that its artisans are using for the ornaments.

The ornaments will sell for $29 each. One version features the Civic Arena and the city skyline while the other shows the arena and the Penguins logo.

The team's foundation benefits various youth charities.
